A left-hander orients the paper SIDEWAYS, with the top to the right, and then writes DOWN the page for each line. This keeps the pen tip correctly oriented and also means that the writing hand rests on the unwritten part of the page, free of the ink.

It takes a while to get used to, but soon a left-hander can quickly write elegant script down the page. One student used to pick up the sheet and turn it upright to read what she had written.

It does work well.

I’m a lefty who writes extensively throughout the day. From filling out forms to keeping a comprehensive daily planner/journal (not diary), although I don’t write many letters these days I plan to change that. Advice for fellow southpaws, try blotter paper as you write or even normal paper. Just dab it onto the newest writing to remove any excess. It should help. Sometimes I’ll place a blank page under my hand so it rests entirely upon it and move it down the page as needed, exposing only the new writing area. Alternatively, you could write with a crooked left hand, above the newest writing.

As for stationery, higher quality papers like Rhodia, Whitepages, Letts, or Moleskin take ink much more nicely than cheap paper, with much less bleedthrough. Fountain pens and rollerballs are my favourites, and use water-based ink. Ballpoints are a paste and gels are, well, a gell. The former produce the nicest ink lines on good paper, and you can invest in a nice pen with multicoloured interchangeable refills.
