I’m left handed, and my handwriting writing goes from really nice to shit when I use different pens. My advice is experiment with different types. I love BiC pens, they feel super smooth.

Also, growing up in Israel, where we write right to left, I don’t recall any of my right-handed friends having issues with handwriting.

Hebrew is strange because maybe it was first written in stone rather than ink, so smearing wasn’t an issue? This page at least puts that forward as a possible reason: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/why-is-hebrew-writt...
I think clay, no?
That makes more sense, but the article speculates otherwise. Cuneiform which was definitely first written on clay tablets is left to right.
