different ways of writing こ and ご？


When I write こ and ご I tend to write them with a straight line at the top
instead of with a tail like how it's supposed to be written. I kind of have
trouble writing it the proper way without making it look unbalanced. Is my way
of writing them still somewhat correct and distinguishable from other
hiragana?

These are at least readable and distinguishable. Actually, some Japanese fonts
have こ/ご similar to yours (i.e., no hook at the top right):

Still, it's not a preferred way of handwriting こ/ご. Fonts for printing do not
always reflect how you should actually handwrite characters. Your こ looks
somewhat childish or comical to me. I basically recommend you practice the
proper way.
