When I'm writing (I'm left handed), the paper is straight up and down, and when I write right to left, it is still straight up and down. When I'm doing left to right calligraphy, however, I turn the paper 90 degrees so that the line starts at the top of my point of view and heads towards the bottom. This way the strokes are being pulled with a pen where they ought to be.
