> what are you doing to address it?
Slow down and practice seems like the obvious advice.
I didn't want to lose the skill of handwriting, so I've returned to snail mail :)
I've discovered that my handwritten letters are quite different to my emails. I'm much more relaxed with my pen.
How well and quickly I can do it? Yes, absolutely. I had to handwrite a bunch of stuff at work and my hand cramped embarrassingly quickly.
I don't see much reason to address it.
