I mark important part, then when finished I write all quoted by hand. While writing I also practice my handwriting as I'm into calligraphy. Then I keep those writings as book summaries.
Oehhh!
I absolutely adore calligraphy! I'm not that gifted in terms of handwriting, though- then again, it's nothing one can't learn to improve on!
Awesome! But I think it is a great bit more time consuming than typing or writing it "normally", no?
reply
It's not time consuming if it's time well spent. Depends on the mood, mostly I write in my own mash up of different gothic/copperplate/spencarian styles, with practice I'm faster than writing in capital.

Could you share a pic or two?

Wooow! That's one of those styles I absolutely adore! I guess the former one is Gothic?
Do you do penpalling?
reply
Not penpalling per se, considering doing it when time allows for it. Maybe

Why so hesitant?
Yeah, looks absolutely terrific!
The spacing alone looks like a challenge, let alone the letters- and then one has to keep everything the same style... Would take me ages.

If you constrain yourself to specific set of rules made for specific font then takes time. Faster is to learn a little and incorporate into your own style

Ah, freestyling, I see. Beautiful nonetheless.
