In case any of you care, I’m moving all my writing reference reblogs and posts to my writing blog and they’ll be going there from now on: http://wroki.tumblr.com
The trick is to not let people know how really weird you are until it’s too late for them to back out.

Some everyday things you can include in your writing to make your character more beliveable:
• Most knives and scissors have the edge on the opposite side. We use ‘blunt’ or customized blades most of the time. May sound as a little thing, but really annoying. This also goes for swords, bows and some other weapons.
• Left handed people need left handed music instruments (guitars, violins…)
• Left handed writers tend to ruin fountain pen nibs, because they have to push them instead of pulling it on the paper. They also have to write in a weird postition because otherwise they’d smudge the ink. Some of them write from the top to the bottom, even if they use european languages.
• being left handed was considered ‘devil’s mark’ or ‘wrong’ and people were forced to use their non-dominant hand until very recently. Keep this in mind if you writing historical fiction.
• Left handed people tend to do circular movements in the opposite direction. If they have to draw the circle or seasons, they mostly draw it in a mirrored way. This also cause small everyday issues with locking or opening doors or using analog-style clocks.
• In swordfights or fencing, left handed have an advantage because most people train against righties.
• Left handed people put the computer mouse on the opposite side, and we have to switch the button settings.• Left handed people normally eat with their left hand, so they make the table the opposite way and they may accidentaly bump elbows with right handed at the table.

I, S am left handed. Although a lot of those points make sense to me, I think I need to make a point. Not everyone is this extreme with their leftieness. For example I write left handed but I do everything with my right. I throw a ball with my right, play cricket with my right. It depends on the person.
The most annoying thing is can openers. I can’t use them, it takes me ages to open the hotdogs as they don’t seem to work for me. Knifes aren’t a problem for me as I use my right hand.
Followers? Any experiences to add?
I’m the same as S here. While I’m a left handed, I do most things with the right side of my body. And the mouse of my computer is on the common side.
Something that really annoys me is handwriting. I don’t like having to write in a weird, awkward position, so I just don’t, and the left side of my hand gets dirty as hell.
I’m also able to write from right to left, that way you can only read things while holding them next to a mirror.

“ | Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat. -- When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating. It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.” I mean, it’s just true.

I’ll probably be blogging a lot about this in the next few weeks. I think I have a tag for it, so I’ll find it or make a new one up and make a psa about it for tumblr savior.

My mom just said she would help me find a psychologist or a psychiatrist or some sort of therapist or something to talk to this summer and I’m so relived I just burst into tears in the dining hall.

i wonder how mad my girlfriend would be if i went to her room and woke her up just to cry on her
Update: 20 years of being single with no friends and parents that don’t give a shit when I’m freaking out about something has taught me to deal with my panic attacks alone. Good thing too because I don’t want to be a bother to people right now.
You can ask me anything and I’ll answer honestly, but only with yes and no.
