Write in ink. Crossing out your mistakes makes you remember them. Crossing them out makes them a nuisance. Erasing does not compare to seeing your mistake laid out bare.
Handwriting is designed to be as readable as possible. Letters should be distinctive and easily separable. Having this skill, while (possibly) decreasing in value due the increasing presence of technology, is still invaluable especially as a student.
This is how I have constructed my handwriting font if you will.
Letters must be clearly different
Letters must follow standard english height structure (t is larger than a)
Letters must be able to be written fast
Letters must be able to be written with a fountain pen with ease
Letters must be distinctive to you
I write almost exclusively in pen. Black ink. The reason I write in ink is outline in the quote at the top of this page. Ink makes you consider your words and truly realize your failures. It also helps you think about your failures in a more constructive way. It also offers more contrast against white and cream pages. I only use pencil in specific instances such as certain tests where I do not have the space to make such mistakes and on homework where I will just cross them out with pencil anyway.
