Sorry, I don't mean to criticize your handwriting. 
I take no offense. No worries, TB.
Honestly, I used to write in print up until about six months ago, then I picked up cursive again. I've always liked the way good cursive penmanship looked. My handwriting took a lot of practice to get to what you see above. No, I didn't write too slow. But I have a lot of time to practice my handwriting. My work requires a lot, and I write in a journal at least a few times a week. I don't bend my hand or anything like that, although a lot of the other lefties in my family do. I do, however, lift my hand off of the page a bit so as not to smear the ink or lead when I write.
Practice, practice, practice is all that I've done for it.
