It may be sideways, but I can read your writing!

I had a lot of trouble taking this picture with the phone in my left hand while holding the pen with my right one. I suppose I may as well go ahead and write something in my journal now.

If I took a photo of me holding my pen in writing position it would look just like Kaputnik, except reversed r-to-l. I'm a LH underwriter, but our hands look identical.

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Much like the last two photos, except with my left hand, higher at the top of, or just above the section, and with a less vertical angle.

Cool pen, Kaputnik! 180s are great.

Clearly ready for either using a music nib to write actual musical notation or one of the left oblique solutions to writing Arabic.
Anyway, as I had this handy, nope, not sideways here. Much of a muchness:

My pen touches the "webbing" between my thumb and forefinger and the nib tines face the paper flat not sideways.

I am glad you like it because according to YouTube, that's my worst video. Maybe people don't like the music.

I went to Catholic school, where the nuns tried unsuccessfully to correct the way I naturally held my pen, with the tip of both my pointer and my middle finger on the barrel grip. I suppose they eventually gave up, as they could find no fault with my actual writing. In my late twenties, I started getting acrylic nails, and the long nails forced me to hold my pen in the proper way, with the pointer on the barrel and the barrel resting against the side of the middle finger. I had the fake nails for years, and eventually it became natural to write this way. The nails are long gone, but I continue to hold my pen in the “right” way.
Not sure if it’s because they don’t teach cursive in school anymore...probably they don’t place any importance on writing/penmanship at all...but I see some extremely strange ways that young people hold their pens and pencils today. Very, very strange.
The nut should have forced to get acrylic nails in the first place
My uncle was lefty and they tied his left hand.... his handwriting was awful...
I was lucky no one tortured me...
The only time I hold a pen vertical is if I write with a fude nib/ and want to control the lines....
