Improving Handwriting

I got this link and it's made a difference on my handwriting;
sometimes correcting a little bad habit makes a big difference.

Does any of you have any other link that might help improving one's
handwriting?

That depends on the type of handwriting you want to achieve. You should
first identify what style of handwriting you like, and then figure out the
necessary muscle movements you need to master in order to write easily in
that manner. After that, it helps to drill your muscles daily, and then,
as you become proficient and consistent, you can start to apply these
drills to writing real letters.

For me, I chose to learn how to write Spencerian. In doing so, I found
this scanned copy of a penmanship manuscript circa middle to late
nineteenth century. [1] Using their methods I have found my handwriting
has improved dramatically.

Thanks, nice site!. BTW, in the main page there's a pic of a replica
of the Giralda tower in Seville (Spain). Seville -where I lived for 25
years- is Kansas' sister city. There's a Kansas City Avenue in
Seville.

Quite a bit of the content under "How to teach italic" looks very
similar to that of Rosemary Sassoon's book "Teach Yourself Better
Handwriting", which uses exactly the same model alphabet but says it
should be used only for retraining adults, not for teaching children
the first time.

Did you mean this book? I also think it might be the same stuff, and
plan to have a read. Here's an Amazon link - remove any line breaks that
your newsreader puts in:

I have this one, which I think is just the newer edition of the same
book:

I'm quite pleased with it for two reasons: it teaches a nice style,
instead of that hideous, loopy, Q=2 crap that they tried to teach me
(in American schools); and I've made some noticeable improvements
(starting from really bad) although I honestly haven't put enough
effort into doing all the exercises yet.
