I agree with you, Charles - for some reason when I read them, the fourth one seems the easiest - Val ;-)

> 3. my writing with a beginning and ending position, for writing vertically - but I am not sure the ending position is needed - just an idea
> 4. my writing with a beginning and ending position, for writing horizontally - again, I am not sure the ending position is needed -

> Notice how I wrote with arm lines - I think the arm lines help to see that the right hand has moved up-and-over and landed behind the left hand - the left arm line became dark in the second position to show that the left hand and arm is now closer to the chest (the reader) - the darker arm line means “closer to the chest” - the dark arm line is a way to see depth - it shows which arm is in front of the other -
