Spend a day practicing old-fashioned letter writing and calligraphy.

“I’d get back to my hotel room after work, grab something to eat, turn on Bravo and sit at the desk writing drills or practicing strokes for hours at the time. Sometimes I’d have to stop because my arm ached! I found calligraphy to be something that calmed my nerves after a stressful day, and I could almost immediately see improvement in what I was doing.”

“At first I used tracing paper to sort of copy the letters from a book. When I tried writing without tracing, I noticed that I had a lot of difficulty writing the letter ‘a.’ I couldn’t get it to look right so I practiced 8 pages of just the letter ‘a.’ However, I made very little progress and the biggest reason was that I didn’t have a clear idea of what I was trying to get the letter to look like.”
