Today’s This or That concerns a body part. An important body part. Especially to us writer folk. I’m talking about your hands. I am curious. Are you right-handed or left-handed?Some famous left-handed writers include Lewis Carroll, Peter Benchley, Mark Twain, and H. G. Wells.
A soon to be famous right-handed writer includes Ben Esch (his debut book, Sophomore Undercover came out this week!).
A not so famous right-handed writer includes me.
The following presidents were/are left-handed: James A. Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama.
The following presidents were/are right-handed: the ones not on the above list.
These musicians were/are left-handed: Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Phil Collins (Genesis), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Crystal Gale, Jimi Hendrix, Glenn Frey (the Eagles), Paul McCartney (Beatles/Wings), Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin).
Did you know that Bart Simpson is left-handed? Cowabunga, dude! But not Homer. Doh!
Please use your right or left hand (or heck- use your toe!) to vote on the poll on the right if you are lefty or a righty and/or comment!
