Any tips/courses/apps out there to help improve #handwriting / #penmanship?

I am starting to journal and such again, and my poor handwriting is one of few remaining masculine stereotypes in the Zelda household.

Layouts I Love β€’ GQ, March 2026

#layoutsilove #magazines #redesigns #handwriting #GQ

GQ is going from 8 issues per year to 6, which makes it a much easier magazine to keep up with. It also might just give the whole team more time to make each issue more unique and memorable.

As a lefty (as in, left-handed), I have tried numerous ways, since I've learned to write, to avoid the dreaded smudges.
Who amongst us hasn't experienced the side palm dirty with ink and the writing on the page smudged beyond recognition?
My uncle used to write from the top of the page, wrist bent at an uncomfortable angle, nearly writing upsidedown.
My own solution? Hold my hand and pen 'normally', but put my paper sideways, my arm more or less parallel with my torso (depending if I'm writing with table support or not). No smudges of any kind and no (additional) wrist pain. It's garnered weird looks, but if it works.... /

How do you, fellow lefties, avoid the smudges?
