learn to write with my left hand

I’m starting to work really hard at this. I had actually forgotten about this goal until my psychology teacher spoke about how we lived in a right-handed world. Thank you mr. psych!

I actually really need to learn this soon because I'm afraid my right hand might become permanently damaged. At this point I can barely write a paragraph without it feeling like my hand is breaking. If I can switch off between hands I can do those timed essays in a breeze!

I don’t seem to be making much progress with this at the moment. I’m going to try and be as neat and meticulous as I can.

I suppose it’s just a question of practising a lot, I’m going to write out the alphabet a couple of times a day and see where it gets me. I think RH writing is better in the long run though as you don’t smudge your words as you go accross the page.

Over the winter i worked pretty diligently on this, without seeing very many results. I kind of slacked off and by spring i stopped practicing. Im going to start practicing again, I think it would be a really useful tool.

I wrote my first paragraph. I looked like a kindergartener. My middle finger started itching when I was done. I realized that I’ll probably end up getting a big bumpy thing on my middle finger like I’ve got on my right middle finger if I keep this up. That thought kinda made me sad cause I know that’ll mean it’ll be less sensitive and weird.

Oh well, I guess guitarists have to go through a similar thing to get better at what they do. Mutilating the body is a must to get this goal completed! :P

I want to learn this because: a) it’s something new to master, and b) I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand and is progressively getting worse.

well i figured out that i was born left handed but my teachers made me write with my right and i want to return to using my left hand!!!!

I barely hand-write anymore – with both hands? NEVER!! Once I fractured my wrist and had to write with my left hand but it was almost completely illegible. I am going to try and do some left-hand writing in my spare time (maybe every day?)

I really want to learn with my left hand. Well, the hand of mine that isn’t dominant, my left hand. I think this’ll help in case my right hand goes through an accident. I think I’m doing quite well, actually. At first, I would colour a children’s colouring book every day at night. I did it with crayons, and then pencil crayons. It was always ugly. Well, it got better… but I quit that. It was just sooo boring! I abandoned the goal for a while, and here I am trying again. I have this notebook which now has 24 pages worth of written work with my left-hand. Well, 12-13 ish, but 24 pages. It’s normal 8 by 11 lined paper. Every day, I go to Wikipedia or some interesting place to get information and learn. I rewrite stuff off there. I’m not bored yet. Because, I actually learn stuff, and it’s wonderful, and I enjoy it. I also like skimming the pages of the notebook full of left-hand printing and think to myself ‘Woah, I’ve written a lot.” It makes me happy. Don’t do boring stuff like colouring with your left hand. Do something that will interest you. That is my only tip! xD

I can already write with my left hand thanks to a number of boring classes over the years. I guess the next step is to up my writing speed and learn to write cursive.

Learning to brush left handed would be useful. I’m always trying to mess around on the computer when brushing my teeth. Right hand on mouse, left hand on brush :D
