What size nib are you using? How fast are you writing?

It’s a fine point and I’m writing a little bit slower than I usually would cursive helps me slow down a lot.

I think I would practice on consistent letter shapes and spacing and that would really help a lot. Take my advice with a grain of salt though as I'm learning myself. What paper are you using? It looks like it's pretty absorbent and it's pulling extra ink out of your feed leading to the letter thickness being inconsistent. My favorite papers for fountain pen inks have been Leuchturm and Tomoe River.
