BSC writing styles

[virgoscorpio]

I am 24 and I can still write like the Babysitters Club members...

As a kid, I used to practice my writing -- and now, as an adult, I have the perfect "teacher writing". I get a lot of compliments on it, especially since I'm a guy, and I always mention that I got such nice handwriting by practicing.

But I digress.

Can anyone else write like the BSC? In their own, unique handwriting?

This Christmas I was sending out cards, and I talked to one of my co-workers who also read the BSC saying I could write like them. And in her card, I even did it! It's something that is etched in my brain.

Just wondered if anyone else shared this.

I haven't tried to write in BSC handwriting in at least fifteen years, but I bet I still could. I was reading the BSC before my own handwriting was entirely legible, so I think all those notebook entries probably influenced the development of my own handwriting in some way.

Since the age just before they start teaching cursive in schools falls within the BSC's target, I have to wonder how many readers ended up with a little BSC in their own handwriting. My cursive is a sloppier version of Kristy's, but I print far more often. From some notes I took years ago -- the numbers probably don't hold anymore, but that's still how I write!

I used to a lot when I was younger, and sometimes I still do it when I'm really, reallu bored in class.

My writing kind of looks like Mary Anne's:

but it's far more influenced by having to do a lot of writing in cyrillic cursive, rather than the BSC handwriting.

^I have pretty much the same slanty cursive.

Yeah it does! Mine looks somewhat similar to yours, actually, greer.

LOL, some of my capital letters are adapted or adopted from Cyrillic. I'd drive you nutty, greer, because what in Russian is "N" is how I write "H". My M, D, and A are also Cyrillic even in English. (I have a very scanty knowledge of Russian.)
