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.

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
