52 Weeks Update

So after a delay in starting my 52 week plan, I am finally on track and ahead of schedule. I purchased an address book that is about 5x5 inches so I can use each title page for that particular letter - ie. A is for a lower case and then upper case can be on the facing page.

I managed to finally beat the letter a in Chancery cursive - it proved to be more difficult than any other letter since it is more rounded than I normally write. But it is finally in the book and I feel better every time I use it in a word. The letters b, p, and d were easily mastered, as were c and o. Then I was able to rush into the i, j, and l letters that again were mastered in a day. So that a was not friendly to start with. I hope that I will now be able to get through multiple styles in my 52 weeks. The capital letters will be right after I finish the lower case of this Chancery Cursive.

I discovered a pack of journaling note papers that are beautiful and covered in roses with light lines for journaling. I have used them to title each page and then write out the particular letter I have mastered. They look rather nice. I now have to find a similar design or color for the upper case letters facing each page.

But since it is week 6 I feel rather good having completed 20 letters - whoo hoo!
