Q. I have a problem which has caused great annoyance
and occasionally embarrassment to me for as long as I have known how to write. The problem is, I never seem to have the same handwriting twice. I don’t mean just a small difference in the way I do certain letters, but I mean that paragraph by paragraph or sentence by sentence, it is like a completely different person is writing. It was a major problem at school as my teachers constantly thought I was bullying other students into doing my prep for me. Now a 19-yearold university student, I thought it was something I would have grown out of. Alas no. What should I do Mary?

A. Simply enrol on a calligraphy course and learn to do fast cursive italic script. This will equip you with a consistent, visually attractive hand. The 20-hour course costs around £125.
