Answer 1

i am left handed and i hav that same problem STILL 2 THIS DAY!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Oh yes this is a common Left-handed scenario. Really good ink. The erasable ink is the worst. Try turning your note book on an right leaning angle so that the outside palm of your hand isn't rubbing directly over the fresh written work. Correctly holding your pen is essential for crystal clear handy work. Some Lefty's learn the "hook-style" of writing. Where they curve their hand around and down in sort of a hook shape avoiding the fresh written work. But it is very tiresome on your hand muscles.

Answer 3

nope. eventually you will find a way to hold your hand so that it happens less. That is why when you read a paper written by some left handed people it is at a very large angle. I used to be just like you. Now I wright at a very large angle, and it seams to work most of the time. Just keep turning the paper until you can write without making a mess. Teachers will not like it very much though. Tell them the problem you are having, and they will get over it.

Answer 4

The thing I do is write with my wrist bent and up above the paper. That gives the pen more time to dry before my hand runs over it. Its jut something you have to deal with, I guess. For note taking or stuff that requires fast writing, maybe a laptop or something like that may work better. Also, you could try a mini-recorder.

Answer 5

I'm left handed and I've had the same problem since I began to write. Just put the pen/pencil on the paper instead of your whole hand. That's what I always do.

Answer 6

i'm left handed and even when i use the inky pens, i don't get stains all over my fingers. maybe when i write a lot, but most of the time, no. just done slide ur hand all over the place.i try to keep my pinky up a little when i write.

Answer 7

im lefty n that used to happen to me all the time! i would be done writing n i would have all this ink n pencil on my hand n on my sleeve! now i write with my hand off the paper with just the pen touchin it. u basically gotta keep ur hand up, instead of on its side. its uncomfortable at first but ull get used to it

Answer 8

i am left handed and have always struggled with that. I think there are left handed stores where you can buy a left handed notebook not kidding.

Answer 9

im left handed too and the only thing i can think to do is to angle your hand so that its not going threw the ink or put a piece of paper under your hand as you wright

Answer 10

I write with my right hand, but when i do use my left hand i hold it so it's only touiching my thumb and pointer finger.

Answer 11

lift your hand when you write, type as often as you can, try to use pens that dont smear easily, and be careful
