== Dot Grid Advice ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Spectacularly. Quaffed. Brian Hamilton. Do you have any. I love Brian. Do you have any advice. For writing text. On dot grid paper. Writing on one row. Is too small for me. But two rows. Feels way too big. Brian is speaking. My language here.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Just. Live free Brian.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Live free like me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So Brian. You can get. Different. Varying. Line widths. But I know that's hard. You got to put in the research. Just to decide. Okay. Do I need. Four millimeters. Small. Five millimeters. Width is standard. And six or greater. Is wide. Maybe you need. A six or greater. To have. The right. Spacing. For your handwriting. You could customize it. At blank slate paper. Our good friend Dave. Will send a link. I don't think I sent that link. To Brian. I may not have answered him. Already on Twitter. But I like this question. Because this is something. I fight with. From time to time. And what I'll do. Is. I'll. Try to write on one line. But I don't force myself. Into it. So sometimes. I'll go taller. Like if I have one line. And I'm writing on. I'll use. I'll. Skip a line. Because I know. I'm going to. Like roll into that. Above space. On. You know. Like an L. Or a T. Or something like that. And. It makes it a little bit. Easier to read. So. And that's on like. Standard five. Five millimeter. Width dots. I mean. I usually stay in between the line. Like I think. The reticle grid. That I just used. For the field notes. I'll have to pull it back out. And see what their spacing is. It looks like five millimeters. And I used a point five gel ink pen. And I stayed. I used one line. I didn't skip any lines. And it fit. So. Depending on your handwriting style. You can find some wider. Grids. But. That's. Kind of. You know. Like Myke said. You just kind of got to go with it. Sometimes it's okay to just skip a line. When it gets really really tight in there. I would not force yourself to write in that line. Because then it just gets messy. And. Too tight. And illegible. After you're done with it. So.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's what I got.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Is that it for today?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That is it for today buddy. You need to go rest your voice.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I apologize to everybody. That I sound this way. This is not.
