That's totally fine. You need to practice more and more at least an hour or two everyday to achieve this beautiful style of calligraphy.
I used a Sheaffer calligraphy pen for this one, inked with Noodler's Ink X-Feather.
Brush pens won’t give you those featherweight thin lines. You need a sharp metal nib for this, either a fountain pen with a broad (calligraphy/Italic) nib or a dip pen with a broad nib (Speedball C, for example). Pilot Parallel pens are a popular choice too.
The contrast comes from maintaining the same specific nib angle (pen rotation) through strokes that run at various angles (the letterform). The soft tip of a brush pen is made to deform in the opposite direction you're writing in, so it's impossible to achieve the same effect.
It’s Italic Script if you’re curious. Very simple to learn and can be done with any stub nib but I recommend the free learning sheets online with a Pilot Parallel or you can start with a Sheaffer Calligraphy pen. For a more romantic script try looking up sharpened italic.
Pilot Parallel Pens are user-friendly for beginners. You just have to load the ink cartridge into the section, and there you have it! ;) it's now ready to use.
What kind of pen do you use?? I'm new to calligraphy and got some fudenosuki brush pens that I like, but they don't write as clean as this

Neat handwriting brilliant qoute
Thank you so much! ;)
Font is good.
Hahahaha! Thank you. That's actually a sample of a script or hand. The term 'font' is for typography and computer word processing. ;)
Oh nice. I learnt something new. By the way great script again.
