I used to write with equal facility backwards or forwards, infact, if I was
taking notes or something, not really looking at what I was writing, I would be
surprised sometimes to realize that I was writing backwards. Also, in life
drawing classes I would often notice (only when people would point it out,
oddly) that I had done a mirror image of the pose--there the model would be, in
20 drawings, facing left, and in mine she'd be reversed. Because I never
cultivated this tendency--in fact, I always chose to write the normal way, it
was only when I wasn't paying attention that it happened the other
way--gradually I lost the tendency. I can still write backwards or draw
backwards, but it takes some effort. I was cheered, however, when the other day,
when I was transferring an image from a maquette to a wall, I did it backward
without thinking. What does this mean? I've always wondered--
Does anyone else do this?
