Do you remember that I taught a course online on SW Handwriting in January 2007? That is 13 years ago! People did their homework and it went well. Their homework is posted on the web. You can download the workbook and take the course on your own any time:</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Write SignWriting by Hand</div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/">https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>SignWriting Handwriting Course 2007</div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/">https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/lesson101.html">https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/lesson101.html</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/lesson102.html">https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/lesson102.html</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/symbols.html">https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/symbols.html</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Handwriting workbook based on the above lessons:</div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs5/sw0473-US-SWHandwriting-Lesson1.pdf">https://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs5/sw0473-US-SWHandwriting-Lesson1.pdf</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>You can even look at other student's homework to see how they wrote in their workbooks...</div><div><a href="https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/lesson103.html">https://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/handwriting/lesson103.html</a></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>People did real well -</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>So Mark, between Adam's lessons and my 2007 course on the web you have something to study.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Thank you, Mark, for your 1000s of entries in the Singapore Sign Language Dictionary in SignPuddle.

To be honest, there are several different ways to write by hand that writers will use. In fact, it become very individualistic and personal. The main reason is because most writers will write by hand for personal notes, which might be later transferred to the computer to print out for general use. Because of this, there isn’t a whole lot of material or even “standardization” on how to write SignWriting by hand.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I do a lot of writing by hand myself to the extent that it might not look like SignWriting to some people. It might almost be considered shorthand to some people as well.

In fact, I don’t think I have even gone into a form of writing that I have personally been calling "simplified handwriting”.
