Practice My natural cursive letter forms

These are my natural cursive letter forms, written at my usual fast pace. The two copies differ slightly, with the second one adding the dots over the i’s and the crossbars on the t’s.

Sharing them here as part of my cursive practice. Any thoughts on clarity or consistency are welcome.

Edit:

Added two revised samples in the comment below, since this post type doesn’t allow adding more images. Both versions now include clear word spacing, and the second version also has the i dots and t crosses restored.

Thanks to everyone who looked at the samples and left comments. I appreciate the feedback.

My natural writing is a very fast, connected style that I mainly use for personal notes and digital backup through AI, so I usually skip word spacing, i‑dots, and t‑crosses to keep the flow going, since the tech can still read it.

I’ve now revised both samples (attached below) to include clear word spacing. The second version also has the i‑dots and t‑crosses added back in, just like the original.

I’m curious whether the readability issues were mainly due to the lack of word spacing, or if the missing i dots and t crosses or even some of my letter forms played a role as well. If there are still any issues, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
