how do you write the "@"

This is a funny question, but because I can actually
give an easy answer, I'm excited to give you my
technique! :-P
Start on the right hand side of your @ at the "3
o'clock position" [a] and draw a circle
counter-clockwise, hitting 12 o'clock, 9, 6, back to
your 3 o'clock.
When you return to the 3 o'clock position, stop and
draw straight down just a little (or not at all, I
prefer it to look like an "a") [b], then swoop to the
right and OVER your circle, once again
counter-clockwise, ending at [c]
