Interested in Learning Cursive?

If you have been following my page for any amount of time you will know that I have a love-affair with cursive hand-writing. I am of the total conviction that it makes you smarter, increases your capacity for patience, and is just genuinely impressive. Some, however, were not fortunate enough to be taught this amazing skill growing up, or in their later years have forgotten it.

This is where I come in. If you live in the Southern Arizona region and are interested, I will be putting on monthly FREE classes at the library called: “Cursive Writing and The Classics.” The intent of this class will be to reinvigorate my community with a passion for HUMAN ART, which includes books written in a time before A.I. and the physical act of Cursive transcription.

Is it not true that the best way to learn, is to do? I would argue it is. So, follow along on this page as I post updates as the first class draws nearer. You can find out which library will be hosting it, and how you can join us!

Handwriting the Bible #1

By: A.B. Timothy

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.
