    Turn the page about 45 degrees clockwise, you’ll write more straight across the page and the pen will work better because you’re not pushing it. Experiment until you find the angle that works best for you.

    Additional bonus: No more smudges on your hand/the page.

      Most people ask if it hurts when I write. Decades ago I decided to basically write upside-down. I turn the paper the opposite direction you’re saying then curl my hand essentially pulling the pen. I fill out door hangers for my job and I hold them upside-down on my leg and fill them out. Customers often ask how the hell I do it lol. I’m like, necessity my friend.

      If writing for a decent amount of time, this is how I do it with fountain pens. They almost feel made for lefties.
