You literally just finish writing the letters as you write i guess?
I need a ton more weed for this one
I think the question is about cursive writing, where you would finish a word before going back to add those lines/dots/symbols
Interestingly there's another comment in this thread showing how some cursive styles don't follow this format, so this question was still insightful for people familiar with one type of cursive writing
This was my thought. I don't really know how to answer the question though because it feels like asking to describe sight to blind person. How does one visualize anything? That said, at some point it really becomes muscle memory. I don't really visualize how the word or letters should look anymore. I'm just thinking of how to spell it.
The only exception is when I'm writing in the dark or near dark. I have to try to visualize how the word actually looks based on my hand movements so I can figure out spacing and where the i/ts are. It's obviously not perfect, but I'm writing for myself in these situations so it's less about it being legible and more a way to remind myself that there is something I need to remember. It's my remembrall.
EDIT: As for the other question from OP, I look at the word I wrote and add any dots/dashes that are needed. Like, I know "and" doesn't need anything but I know "italics" does. Not like I check every word. Just the ones I know need them, cause I know how the words are spelled.
