I'm having trouble holding a pen properly and writing because my index finger doesn't seem to grip it right. My finger itself seems fine, though. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing difficulty with fine motor control, which could be due to issues with coordination or muscle strength, even if there's no apparent problem with the finger itself. I recommend consulting a specialist, such as a neurologist or occupational therapist, who can assess the underlying cause and suggest exercises or treatments to improve your grip and writing ability.
