How This Handwriting Project Started
I was lying on the couch, watching YouTube, when a video titled
“
How to Make Your Handwriting Look Pretty” popped up.
The moment I saw it, I thought, “I want pretty handwriting!”
The YouTuber said, “Your handwriting will look better if you just change three things.”
That simple promise motivated me to start practicing, keeping those three tips in mind.
On my bookshelf, I happened to have a copy of a Korean copybook called
『어른의 품격을 채우는 100일 필사 노트』 (literally, “100-Day Copybook to Build an Adult’s Dignity”).
I decided to use this book every evening and turn it into my own little “pretty handwriting project.”

Watching My Handwriting Change Day by Day
On the first day, I tried to follow the three tips from the video:
① Relax your hand and don’t press too hard.
② Make the vowels slightly larger than the consonants.
③ For angular letters (like ㄹ, ㅁ, ㄴ in Korean), don’t round them off too much.
I kept those three rules in mind and started writing…
and honestly, my handwriting looked
worse than usual.
I remember thinking, “Is this really the right way?”
Still, I decided to keep going and copied about 5–10 pages a day.

In the beginning, my handwriting actually looked worse

After two or three days, things slowly started to change.
My handwriting began to settle somewhere between my original rounded style
and the “neat handwriting” style suggested in the video. My writing pace was still slower than usual, and the first line and the last line on each page often looked a bit different.
But overall, I could definitely feel a
positive shift.

Copying Words that Spoke to My Heart
One thing I especially loved about this copybook was that
every page had a quote that really spoke to me.
If this had been just random sentences, I think I would have gotten bored quickly.
But because each line carried a message, I found myself slowly savoring every word as I wrote.
As I copied the text, my handwriting got calmer, and so did my mind.
It became a quiet routine that helped me end the day in a more meaningful way.

A Project That Ended Sooner Than Expected
Originally, I thought this project would last until the end of November
— about a month and a half.
But I ended up enjoying it so much that I finished the book in about three weeks.
In a way, it felt a bit too short, so I’ve decided to buy another copybook and
turn this into a
bedtime handwriting routine that I can keep doing.
If you also dream of having prettier handwriting,
I highly recommend choosing a copybook that speaks to you
and spending just 10 minutes before bed doing daily copy work.
It might slowly change not only your handwriting, but also how you feel at the end of your day.
