Comments on: The appalling state of my Kana handwriting http://www.cugley.co.uk/2009/08/the-appalling-state-of-my-kana-handwriting.html "Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff - writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.

I was writing, faster than normal and as I approached the first stroke I let my wrist fly and the result was pregnant looking ? . The most kick ass looking ? that I have ever written. So give it a go and see what happens. Hopefully you'll be as happy with the result as I was :) The first stroke look like a 'tsu' ? but with a slightly longer upper arm. The second stroke straight down with a slightly angle starting from right to left. And the last one I also do a straight line. The end result is a beautiful, healthy looking piece of hiragana The new and improved ? . Tell me what you think. Hey there slacker-san I write you from sunny Mexico, where I live and study Japanese,

This is not just an indulgent parent speaking — I know a little about it. I’ve now forgotten all my Japanese, but when I did it at University in The Olden Days my calligraphy was such that the teacher asked me to write all the translation exercises for the class — because his Japanese handwriting was so bad. That not only gave me an extra day to work on the translations myself, but some authority to comment on your letter-forms: your writing is, already, much superior to that of my Japanese Japanese teacher.
