Autographed copy? What a treasure! I would die to have one of those...it would be the best signed book in my collection. Move over all you other less important ones....

Heh, the autograph is barely even readable. ^_^ Which makes it even better because I have horrible handwriting as well. I've also heard that a messy/hard to read signature was a sign of intelligence. But I could be making that up, lol. ^_^ Either way, it's soooo nice to have. My pride and joy of my Chris Wooding collection.

It's common myth that messy handwriting is a sign of intelligence, but it isn't (fornunately for me as mine is supernaturally neat), it is true however that many indicators of intelligence are more commonly found in messy handwriting than neat handwriting. If you're wondering, I've been learning graphology.
An illegible signature is good though - harder to forge.

If you're wondering, I've been learning graphology. Shame - my writing is horrendous at times so that would have meant I was super intelligent. I just can't write neat no matter how hard I try. But I hold my pen "strangely" according to everyone else, so maybe that's why.

Aww, that means I'm not that intelligent either. If I try to write neatly, I (of course) end up writing even worse than I normally do. Oh well.

Awww, there goes my preconceived notion that I may indeed have some little drop of smartness in me. My writing looks like a boy writing with his non-writing hand, behind his back, over his head, blindfolded, hanging by his toes, while having a seizure. Doesn't my writing sound so great?

Handwriting can't really show intelligence. Indicators of intelligence are ususally considered to be the indicators that a person is trying to write as fast as they think, but that could just be an indication that the person in question writes in a hurry, or is lazy. Personality traits are much easier to find.

Yeah, I think I remember reading something in a magazine a while back about how your writing shows the kind of personality you have. Like if it slopes a certain way it shows you are sociable or something, is that right?

I don't know many details; I'm only just starting to learn the subject. But it's an inexact science anyway. I know that my handwriting tells people nothing because it's not natural. At a stretch you could say I have a wall between myself and other people, but then again I could just be compulsively neat. You see the problem?

Ah, so your handwriting is the kind that looks like a copy of the writing books they have you practice out of in school?

Ahh, I used to hate those so much. They still never worked on me. In Primary school you got given a pen to write with once your handwriting was neat enough. I was one of the last people to get one, when they just gave them to everybody who didn't have one.
I blame the school for making us join our letters up. My writing's much neater if I don't.

Worse than copy-book actually. Ummm... imagine... no, wait. Never mind, I'll scan some and put it on my art thread, my writing is very tiny and neat, but otherwise hard to describe.
I was good at handwriting exercises in theory, but I'm left-handed so whenever I wrote with a pen I smudged it and got told off for it being messy, even though my letter forms were much better than most other people's.
I love writing techniques and analysis and stuff, I'm really into calligraphy as well as graphology.

My writing is very tiny too, but after that it's just messy. I can't even write that fast either. One of my friends can write at an incredible speed and her writing is really neat. I just don't know how she does it.

Mine varies in size, depending on my mood usually. It can get tiny... but that's half the fun of it ^_^
Teacher's always told me off for being left handed, so I switched...now I'm both ^_^
