How is handwriting affected by essential tremor?

For somebody with essential tremor, they will often notice that their handwriting has been affected in that it becomes harder to write. When they go to write, their hand will start shaking. If you look at the script, if you look at their writing, their handwriting has actually got larger in size. It has become less legible, but it has got bigger in size, compared to somebody with, say, Parkinson's Disease, where their handwriting becomes less legible, but becomes tinier; it becomes sort of a scrawl in its appearance.
