So, after hours of getting cramps in my hand doing my English Roundhand exercises I googled how other people manage to avoid that, only to find oblique pens and elbow nibs.

Bloody cheats.

I'm getting my flourishes right, but I still have no idea how to get the letters right without using one of those devices that I can only try to get a hold on on Monday. It said on a German site that if you dislocate your hand "with a little practice", it should work out, anyway.

I'm still waiting for that to happen.

Good luck! And loads of patience, too.
