Writing is the visible result of a very complicated series of acts, being as a whole or a combination of certain forms which are the very visible result of mental and muscular habits acquired by long-continued painstaking effort.
The System of Writing is the combination of the basic shape and designs of letters and the writing movement which was taught in school.
Handwriting is a visible effect of bodily movement which is an almost unconscious expression of fixed muscular habits, reacting from a fixed mental impression of certain ideas associated with script form.
When a person first begins to learn the art of handwriting, penmanship, copy-book-form or blackboard illustration of the different letters are placed before him. His first step is one of imitation only a process of drawing, painstaking, laborious, slow; copying of the letter occupies the focus of his attention.
As the person progresses, the matter of form recedes, and the focus of attention is centered on the execution of various letters that is they are actually written instead of drawn.
•The manual operation in the execution of letters after more progress is likewise soon regulated to the subjective mind and the process of handwriting become more or less automatic. As the person attain maturity in writing becomes an unconscious coordinated movement that produces a record. Attention is no longer given to the process of writing itself because the subject matter to be written now occupies the focus of attention
