I'd really rather just let go of the only thing i write on paper is my schedule and poplyric everything else. I can write something brilliant, but if it's a bad handwriting day, i'll just throw it away. And i learn this with lyric writing, popular ik riting. So you have no control over the output? No, and i don't think that has to do with being left handed. "i find it distracting and im imperfect"
