How to write myself in cursive
- Start with the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- Swing up into the y (overcurve, slant, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): an overcurve, a slant, an undercurve and a second slant that drops below the baseline into a loop.
- Swing up into the s (undercurve, curve down, undercurve): an undercurve to the midline, a curve back down that closes on the upstroke, then an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the f (undercurve, loop, slant, loop, undercurve): the only lowercase letter that uses the full range, with a loop above the midline and a loop below the baseline.

Myself questions
How many strokes does it take to write myself in cursive?
1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Are all the letters in myself connected?
Yes. Every join in "myself" is a baseline join: each letter ends with an upward exit stroke on the baseline and the next letter starts from it. There are no bridge letters (b, o, v, w) in this word.
Is myself capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "myself" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Myself is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
What is the hardest letter in myself?
The s and the f. Cursive s is the most searched letter for a reason: it looks nothing like print. Write it as an upstroke with a little belly, not as a snake. Practice f right after l and g: the top half is an l, the bottom half is a mirrored g loop.
