creating exit strokes (connections):
Extend the final stroke of the first letter to make room for the next
Write the next letter’s first stroke on top of the former’s exit stroke
Try to make the space between each letter consistent

practice writing your name below


Remember your pressure, angle of your writing instrument and to extend your exit strokes
Slow down and breathe through each stroke slowly and intentionally
