I have decided to undertake the task of handwriting my own copy of the Holy Bible. I have never undertaken such a large task and am excited by the opportunities it presents. At my current rate of about a half chapter every day, I will be done in 6 and 1/2 years. I may speed up as I continue, and there are shorter chapters and longer chapters, so my rate will vary over the course of the project.
I started with the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, which is a lot of genealogies, all those names and begats really helped me practice a lot of less-used words and letters in cursive.
Do you have any tips for handwriting? Have you ever tried doing something like this? What is the biggest handwritten project you’ve ever embarked on? Let’s talk about it in the comments below or over on X.
