How Can I Improve My Handwritting?

Here are some tips for improving the hand writing:
*First of all holding your pen (pencil) is most important. You should hold the pen in such a way that your pen's tip should be away from your hand. It allows you to write freely.
*Second thing is maintain the gap between words and lines in a proper way. Even if the gap is less it'd be awkward. It should be decided according to the size of the page.
*Don't put excess pressure on the paper while writing. It not only affects your writing but also your paper.
*Prefer a pen with a rubber grip for holding.
*While writing you should keep in mind that you should maintain a perfect straight line.
