started loose and having fun. then i began redoing every character until it had a nice spirit or something i liked about it. sometimes on the first try, sometimes 50+ tries. i mixed fast and slow and experimented with pressures. very happy with some of the styles that came out at the end!

trying out "concepts" app for writing

getting slightly more used to holding my pen vertically

afternoon study. 論語雍也第六 10-21

https://imgur.com/xdlPWSz

i did the whole thing holding my pen vertically and slowing down, like i tried at the end of the last one. im still impressed by this way being easier to make straight lines on this slippery surface, and my hand (knuckle) not fatiguing as easily. it does not feel as "flowing" as my fast and sloppy handwriting, but ill give it a fair try. it reminds me of john defrancis writing in his "fact and fantasy" book

stylus takes much longer to fatigue. at end of page 3 around #7, i started holding it vertically like ive seen brushes helded during calligraphy, to relieve the stress on my middle knuckle. it worked well! it seems easier to make straight lines this way too

switching to stylus. easier than a pen but slippery. at least i can undo & retry the worst mistakes

new pens came! my writing has a long way to go, but non-crapping-out pens feels very nice. blazed comfortably thru a page in 30min instead of the usual 45min.

pen crapping even more. new ones should arrive today!

after work. 論語爲政二 19-24. 八佾第三 1-5

https://imgur.com/f4ZnlTj

hand was a bit leaden from previous writing fatigue. pen crapping out even more. mixed up characters in some sentences, shh nobody will notice

after work. 論語學而第一, 12-16. 爲政二, 12-16

https://imgur.com/l4Al7Ar

tried slowing down a lot. it was a struggle and i still made a lot of jerky strokes. i need to relax my grip, as the pen was painful to hold after a while. it was hard to stop the habit of fast and sloppy boxes.

也 and 不 feel nice to write. almost everything else doesnt!

before work. practicing tricky characters from 論語爲政二

https://imgur.com/8djYZDM

my hand is ded. 阙 is so hard to write and balance!

before bed. 論語爲政二, 5-18

https://imgur.com/F7xJoCH

lighter touch this time. no cleaner, but much more comfortable to write. should prolly repeat problematic characters over and over.

i ordered new pens. VERY looking forward to trying those

lunch break. 論語學而第一, 1-11

https://imgur.com/77Wnz9l

i know the composition well, but trying to get better style. trying to practice simplified, which ive hardly written any of. a fairly quick informal speed, maybe i should slow down. a lot of my lines are jerky and the characters dont have a good balance

pen randomly crapping out, need a new one...
