Writing practice with Anki

#9
I ignored Heisig's suggestion to write the kanji only once. I do it every time I am doing my reviews.

Art Rage allow me to pick the tool (i am using Ink Pen) and its thickness / smoothing and other properties which makes kanji i write visually pleasing to me.

It is most likely individual but whenever I am not home, I am using either regular pen and paper or just finger on table, but it is not the same. I find it more annoying and boring. Especially finger method I find not that good. I have a feeling that if I make small mistake, it is much easier overlooked, than if I can compare written kanji with ANKI by eye.

As an added benefit, my speed of writing raised considerably already. Also, I find very amusing that I am beginning to write some primitives / radicals in personalized style. I wonder if it makes them harder to read for others, but from what i saw in anime (notes, letters and stuff), hand written Japanese is often unreadable mess (for me), so in comparison mine seems easy enough.

I grade my answer manually, it is quicker without IME involvement (also, IME pad works with pen input, but it has it's quirks).
