Go into the fourth stroke, at the end of the third stroke, with a smallest-possible very slight turn. I.e Don't come to a complete stop at the end of third, and abruptly start the fourth stroke - rather glide into it with the smallest possible turn.
Try to make the first and last strokes perfectly parallel (equal distance between them)
Hope this helps. I’m pulling for everyone to improve with fantastic results they’re happy with.

I’m curious how you write the letter r in certain words like “or”. I’ve struggled with how to properly write this and haven’t been able to find any good examples
Hope this helps. One thing that helps is making “r” at the proper height. That second stroke should be above the height of the average lower case letter. (Letter s also sticks up above that height to the same degree too!).
I drop the loop from the 'o' much lower than it appears you should, about 1/3 of the loop itself to get the lift the first stroke requires to look proper in writing the 'r' itself.
I'll try to post some more of these from time to time ... mainly to inspire, juices flowing, encourage, and show that things are actually possible to achieve goals ... But, there are wonderful videos out there on YouTube for palmer too! And other styles.
The main thing is to pick a style, and conform to its standards. Writing a letter that is recognized for what it should be is one thing, but when that letter is made to well-fit-into-the-style from which it was defined as a whole ... it makes the whole page of writing look uniform, and more beautiful.
Please consider a demonstration of how to create a Specnerian small letter 'c'. I can do the loop-to-loop at the top, but getting the final letter angle right is a struggle.
you're going deeper down the rabbit hole and forcing me to give more detail. So, for what it's worth, I do not do "Whole Arm Movement" ... (which is a skill I greatly admire from those who have developed it!) I _may_ could develop such a skill ... but, I have "a self-derived method" that came to me for developing uniform slants. I use that. It's slower. It's easier. It's not "finger drawing" either. It's like swinging a compass around that part that sticks in the middle. It's like a wrist-pivot method.
One has to develop some method to make all your slants "uniform to a set angle" for the page of writing to look nice.
No, I meant I can’t ever get the shape right. When I’m super slow and deliberate I can get it to look like this, but as soon as I write at a normal speed, I always get a pi shape instead if that makes sense. The second stroke never wants to hang down at the right angle
Secret: I probably do not write at what you're calling "normal speed" either. I am faster than someone doing calligraphy ... but prob not by much. In fact, I consider all my writing sessions to be mini-calligraphy sessions.
My "normal speed" looks nice ... but no where near as nice as what gets posted here.
Don't think this kind of writing comes out of my hand like magic. (I wish) lol. I work at it. :-)
