Anyone out there left-handed and want to offer an opinion?

I've been left handed most of my life, and no matter how high quality the pen, the ink still smudges under my hand as I dutifully write from left to right. Granted, I haven't really looked into 'left handed' pens specifically, but it has never occurred to me before. I see there is a wide variety of designs and theories behind how each pen assists left handed writers. Wow... ~~A whole new world~~...

Did you mean to suggest that you were at some point right handed but switched?

I have seen some of the ways they suggest to write and I will probably try them out - I can write with my left hand a little.

I like the Pilot Precise Stick Roller Ball Pens

http://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Precise-Roller-Barrel-12-Count/dp/B00006IEBL/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1259080480&sr=1-27

its a liquid ink so it dry pretty quick on most apper and even if it smudges I don't get gel ink build up on my hand.

These are a personal favorite of mine but didn't know how they'd be for a southpaw.

I think so. I don't remember exactly which hand I began with, but I recall a memory of my second grade teacher being frustrated with my penmanship because I wanted to use both hands. I thought even at that age it would be uniquely beneficial to be ambidextrous. She insisted I choose one, so I chose left. Whether or not I was a lefty before that day I do not recall.

As far as pens go, I prefer an Erasermate, though the quality of the eraser has waned considerably over time since I discovered them. I don't want my ink permanent until my words say what I want them to. ;)
