Adam's Suggested Handshape is Cursive

Thank you for your thoughtful messages, Sandy...I can see by your  
attached graphic that yes, it might be possible to at least be cursive  
with some SW Handwriting symbols...

I just found this little graphic file in my computer...I have no idea  
when I did this graphic...I called it Shorthand here...I think if we  
use the Shorthand symbols for a form of Handwriting, then I don't  
think it should be called Shorthand, nor is my writing attached really  
cursive...nothing is connected and I definitely lifted my pen off the  
paper to write it...so maybe we should just call it "relaxed" SW  
HandWriting....or "advanced" SW Handwriting" or something like that ;-))

I vote that I scan in the old SW Shorthand book at some point to share  
with everyone, plus show you more of how I personally use the old  
"Shorthand" symbols for my daily writing to see what you think...the  
reason I haven't scanned in the old Shorthand book before now is  
because it is over 200 pages to scan...

Anyway...here is how I write on a daily basis...see attached...
