I appreciate this so much. I have terrible handwriting. It was never great, honestly. In school, I printed fast and small basically with the goal of just keeping up with note-taking or being able to write in-class essays fast enough. By the time I was out of undergrad, things were starting to be 100% computerized. Being a computer nerd, I got good at typing. Add in a slight tremor that developed over time and now my handwriting is terrible. When I sat down to try and teach myself the Russian alphabet (I like languages and was looking for a challenge after hitting a wall with French), I became acutely aware of how badly that skill has degraded with time.
It's always good to have a project where you can dedicate yourself to a hobby and see yourself improve with time.
Best of luck, friend! Post a few milestones along the way if you want to show off =)
