Excerpt from Why People Write Alike
People differ widely in their physical, and especially nervous, organizations. No two persons do the same thing exactly alike. This is why handwritings differ so widely, even when the writers are trained by the same instructor.
One person may have a tense nature which manifests itself in every movement of his body. Another is easy-going, and this also is manifest in his movements. The two natures are radically different - inherently so - and no amount of training or practice will make them alike.
Heredity also plays a great part. Writing, like many another accomplishment, often runs in families. Good writing is as frequently inherited as it is individually developed. And by the same token, poor writing is just as often an heritage. Many a splendidly educated person is a wretched writer, just as many a well-educated person is a poor speller. It is no reflection on the individual - it is a family trait.
Writing is a far more complex movement than it at first seems.
