How do you hold your pen when you write?

I only use three fingers to hold my pen. My ring finger and pinky don't come into play. I'm also very picky about my pen. I like fine points, or ultra-fine point pens. And they need to be gel or roller ball. I like smooth flowing ink. If it isn't, I feel like my writing looks like crap.

Sometimes my hand hurts when I write. I usually find that I am unconsciously holding on to the pen very tightly. Relax.

I use this pen at work for almost a year and it has helped me considerably.

Between the thumb and middle with the pointer on top.

My left hand, and I use my thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

i saw someone supporting the pen with ring finger when writing, weirdest looking thing ever.

With my mouth.

Most of the time I hold a pen with my thumb at the side of the pen, and my middle and index finger close together at the top, near the thumb obviously. The pen rests on my ring finger whilst I'm writing. So basically, two fingers on the top of the pen, thumb at the side and two fingers at the bottom of the pen. Not sure if I've described that in a way which makes sense.

it rests on my ring finger my pointing finger is kind of bent from painting and drawing to much

I support mine on my ring finger, with my index and middle fingers on top, and thumb on the side. I get comments on how it is the wrong way to hold it but it works and is comfortable. I don't think there is a wrong way. The theory that it has to be done one specific way to be "correct" makes me think of how they used to force left handed children to use their right hands in school.

I grasp it with my claw.

I've been told I hold it really weird. I mean I didn't think writing with your toes was a big deal at all

With my right hand held by my index finger and middle finger (between the two) supporting the tip with my thumb. I curve my wrist the same way that people who write with their left hand curve their wrist as I was originally left handed and was made to write with my right hand but never taught to do it properly.

As a result, my handwriting is small enough to freak people out when they see it (and they make sure I know it), it's fairly neat and looks like a combination of print and cursive and when in pencil, is very dark because I put a lot of pressure on my writing utensils.

Learn to write the right way. Punk.

I have a giant callus on my ring finger from writing. It's a really noticeable bump. I'm left handed so and I hold my pen really weird. I remember I had to use special pencil grips in elementary school because my teachers wanted to fix it. It definitely didn't work.

Supported by my tongue.

With my face. I have no hands.

With my middle finger. I had to find a pen and write a few words to find out for you :P I've never thought about it before, but I can't imagine writing with your ring finger is a detriment to handwriting. I just find it easier to use my thumb, middle and index fingers.

I use my ring finger. I was never taught the 'right' way to write until 5th grade. By then it was much too late for me to change styles.

I hold my pen properly, lol.
