#edit from literally 2 minutes later: I can’t quite justify buying one yet unfortunately because of Too Many Frivolous Purchases lately

Aaaa so I don’t even remember what brought it about but I just had Fond Memories of a past hyperfixation that was Cross-writing (aka crossed letters aka cross-hatching). Where to save postage and paper money, people would write out their letter normally then turn the paper 45 or 90 degrees & continue writing with the new lines angled against the first set (creating a cross hatched look, hence the name). I used to do it cause I thought it was cool and cause if I journaled in cross writing and in cursive, it would be virtually unreadable to most people, cause for some reason younger me had anxiety about ppl reading anything I wrote.

So anyways I remembered cross-writing & looked into it again for funsies. & I’ve always thought the cross writing with diagonals looks prettier than the right angle cross writing but I’m bad at keeping the lines straight and consistent if I try to write diagonally. & I was like “hm it’d be cool if there was a lined paper that had a set of horizontal lines & a set of diagonal lines, that’d solve it”

AND APPARENTLY CALLIGRAPHY PRACTICE PAPER IS EXACTLY THAT!!!!! I CAN BUY A CALLIGRAPHY PRACTICE NOTEBOOK & WRITE A PRETTY N AESTHETIC CROSS HATCHED JOURNAL!!! IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS!!

#Cross writing #Crossed letters #Crosshatch writing #Big with for my autism #Hyperfixation win #Special interest win #neurodivergent #neurospicy >:] #I’m literally so excited about this aaaaaa!!! #edit from literally 2 minutes later: I can’t quite justify buying one yet unfortunately because of Too Many Frivolous Purchases lately #However. One of my frivolous purchases was a 3 pack of mini composition books. #so when they arrive. I shall take a colored pencil & straightedge and make my own diagonal lines in one of the notebooks #And!!! It’ll be even more satisfying bc they’re miniature so I won’t have to write as much before getting to the cross hatch part!!! #Sometimes I would get tired writing in my big lined notebooks & didn’t have the energy to keep going to the cross writing part #So this actually solves that kinda hehehe
