A left-handed childhood friend of mine would place her folders at a ~45 degree angle, and write at an angle. That way, she was not pushing the pen from the left (smudge the paper with her hand), but rather pulling from top-left to bottom-right.
That said I also abandoned fountain pens - writing with them looks nicer, but writing math quickly is a pain.
- nulbyte 7y agoA lefty myself, I actually prefer a fountain pen and haven't had much trouble with them. I find with a good fountain pen, I need much less pressure to write solid lines, and they don't get jammed up like ballpoints, making the inkflow more consistent. I also tend to write with the paper at an angle to match the shape of my arm.
