Are you a member of the society fo r Calligraphy & Handwriting
I am not, can you tell me about them?
They mee tin Bellvue WA
Oh unfortunately I live too far away from them to join them. Is there any Calligraphy clubs in West Virginia? 
I am not sure. When did you start learning calligraphy?
I started 17 years ago when I was still a high school student. I became interested in it after learning a bit about it in a creative writing class.
I heard there are over hundreds of calligraphy scripts that one can practice
Yeah there's a dizzyingly large number. I mostly stick to fancy cursive and gothic fonts because they look the coolest to me.
Is there a certain way to hold a calligraphy pen?
Depends on the pen and tip you're using but usually around a 30 degree angle to the writing surface.
