my own trick was to go to Staple/OfficeMax 
(or equivalent) and get a package of the blue graph paper. 
Practicing on this helped keep the lines level and the letters vertical
Until the hand had the "muscle memory" thing starting to happen.
But my best adjustment was to look at it as 'drawing' each letter,
emphasizing the shape over the content, not writing like my everyday
scribbles- content winning over form- no doubt the source of my
continuing bad penmanship, but relatively legible calligraphy.
