How to write neatly with pen and paper? A while ago, I decided to learn to type with 10 fingers, rather than 2 (two index fingers).

I followed a strict prescription of how to place the hand, and where to place each finger, etc.
I learned how to type with 10 fingers, which has significantly improved my typing.

Now I am considering to also improve my writing efficiency/effectiveness regarding the more ancient art of written words (pen and paper). 

Is there some method, some set of prescriptions for how to place the hand and move the fingers, for writing neatly, clearly, and quickly with pen and paper?
My daughter has Cerebral Palsy and writes quite well thanks to a few tricks she learned from an Occupational Therapist.


Get a fat pencil or you can get a plastic sleeve that goes over a pencil.
Use a soft pencil lead available in many stores, especially art stores.  I recommend HB, or 2B.  It is easier to control a soft pencil.
Rest your forearm on a table when writing, not just the palm of your hand for better control.  


This works for anyone, not just folks with physical issues.  Now that I am getting older, this works for me, too. Once your brain gets the message, these tricks become less important.
