Stop paintbrush tool from distorting what I draw?

I'm trying to use the paintbrush tool to create handwriting. I have my settings at .25 stroke and fidelity set all the way to accurate. The "hello" on the left is before I pick up my wacom pen. The right is after Illustrator renders my writing. Why does it become so chunky and strange? Can I fix it?

Alex,

Or stop overfilling your fountain pen (sorry, it was stronger than I).

Hi Ton, in this continued non winter.
