When I broke my left thumb "getting off" my motorcycle, or as I refer to it among people who practice aikido "impromptu ukemi practice", all of the writing I did for a while was with my left hand. I'm very right handed, and I found that it worked best if I just turned the paper upside down. It was easier for me to reverse "near and far" in my brain, than "in and out". It also had the advantage of my being able to see what I wrote. Using a fountain pen, the ink on the previous line would be drier than the ink on the previous word, as your hand wiped across it. > > On 9/24/2011 10:54 PM, John Francis wrote: >> Not if you're left-handed ... >> >> On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 06:57:32PM -0700, Rick Womer wrote: >>> Damn!
