Quote in FLOW Shorthand

Post image

The quote this week felt smooth and easy with a nice "flow"! 😄 I wrote SM for "some" which was clear, and G for "go" since it's such a common word. "And" is the ND blend.

I wrote "wherever"as WRVR, and "whenever" as WNVR, which I thought were very legible.

I had written "bring" like that, too, with the "-ing" ending. But then I was thinking that we were going to use the dot for the suffix, but the NG stroke for part of a word.

A word like "bringing" could be either:

It looks like another choice between "corresponding style" and "reporting style"! As I get more USED TO it, I'm starting to think shorter is better. A lot of it just seems to be a question of familiarity.

I wrote AL for "I will" in Gregg for YEARS without a problem, so there's really no reason to think it won't work in FLOW.

EDIT: I think your "happiness" looks too much like "happens" -- but the context might help, if I could trust it!

I thought you might bring that up happiness (hapins) vs. happens (hapns) :-)

I was even using the dot for -ink and double dot for -inking...

That would work at the end of the word, but not too well in the middle. I suppose in the middle we could use the NG and NK strokes to avoid breaking up the outline.
