More Shodou
After intense practice working through hundreds of examples, your kanji should start to become more regular and rhythmic. Maybe its time to start learning a few gyousho (cursive) tricks? Here are some simpler radicals, and the way to write them quickly in cursive. In particular, look at the middle column. You can see the second row is the character "go" like in "nihonGO." But the radical gonben is only two strokes instead of seven. Wow, there ARE faster ways to write kanji!
Were you able to see all those radicals clearly, and read the whole character, even though they were condensed and simplified? Great! But now look at these "sousho" cursive examples. The red character in the upper right is the character being demonstrated in cursive. Some of these I can see how you'd read them, but others, I don't see how anyone can read them.
