This one just occurred to me, but I have always had iffy handwriting and recently have been trying to learn Russian which is reliant on fairly tricky cursive.
I have found the whole experience of learning a new style of cursive to be frustratingly difficult and was wondering if not having a good visual memory might lend itself to a slightly harder time of it.

pretty good actually! mines focused on readability, the trade off is speed and lack of connectivity between letters
My handwriting is intirely dependent on the writing tool. Pencil/fountain pen is fine, but biro not. More about how flat I can hold the utencil-- the flatter the better.
Drawing is different, I have to sketch from the paper, rather than a mental image etc
Mine is terrible but that might be the autism lol, that also makes handwriting go terrible
I have allways had horrible handwriting. But I think it has more to do with my autism and adhd which make it hard to form muscle memory and at the same time make me dread repetitive tasks like the drawing of letters that I had to do in school. I had some trouble learning to touch type too but it was much easier and now writing is effortless. It’s like the difference between dragging your self over the ground using only your arms and riding a bicycle.
My handwriting looks like a spider fell into an inkwell, clambered out, then had a party on a page.
BAD
One more thought: when I was little, I had very bad fine hand-to-eye coordination and struggled a lot with scissors in kindergarten LOL
Practice technique and you will get it!
My handwriting of the English alphabet (my native language) is quite readable, though I only print and stopped using script/cursive a long long time ago. When I studied Japanese in college, though, I struggled mightily to remember and write the characters. (Only talking about the simpler katakana and hiragana “alphabets” here, not kanji which are difficult for everyone due to sheer quantity.)
Yep my handwriting is awful. Aphantasia affects all sorts of brain regions involved with visual memory, always wondered whether handwriting is connected.
