Im dyslexic pretty bad, but somehow all my letters are just uppercase and lower case at almost random but there is a pattern to my madness that im not good at explaining. Is it possible to write normally or improve my handwriting? I want to work on many projects but they require planning or writing such as a comic i want to someday do or make a video game. Im not sure what to do for those examples.

    There’s no better way than by rote practice, which is to say, the more that you write, the more it should improve. I’ve been told that I have nice handwriting, despite seldom using cursive. It seems to be a bit of a bicycle thing, the more you practice, the easier it is, you can get right back on after years but never really forget either… Hand write notes on paper instead of on apps, I’m talking grocery list, reminders, books/movies that you hear about and want to read/watch later, use an actual physical calendar hanging on your wall, etc.

    If you’re specifically concerned about some discrepancy in your output where lower & uppercase characters are concerned, I’ll recommend going over your writing afterward to adjust your output manually by very conscientiously re-copying it so that it appears as per technical standards (First letter of sentence only capitalized aside from proper nouns, acronyms, etc.). I couldn’t speculate as to what specific variant of dyslexia you’re experiencing, but you may be able to practice it to death by retraining yourself? The brain has an oddly consistent way of rewiring itself to adapt to input, the same may be true in your case. Best of luck.
