This is very confusing
What makes you say they are not a scribe?
The author may have drawn inspiration from their own hand (for non voynichese) or other people's hand when creating the script. Why not? They already knew how to make the movements. There are also no rule lines on the VMS, yet the text is reasonably straight compared to many manuscripts. So these points do not contradict eachother.
I'm 500+ years removed from the time period, and not a professional scribe, and even I would be quite capable of writing script that resembles some of the aspects talked about in this thread.
