The idea sounds cool...

Rokbeigalmki has vowels, and is written left-to-right.

Judean can be written in either the Latin or Hebrew alphabets, and is
usually written in that Greek "boustrophedon" back-and-forth style with
alternating lines of each alphabet.

Unnamed Semitic Conlang will have it's own (vowelless) Semitic-based
alphabet, right-to-left.

And, talking about the "smudge theory", my brother, who's a lefty,
"taught" himself how to write the Latin alphabet backwards,
Right-to-Left.  I think he writes faster backwards now than he does
forwards.  He even signs his name backwards sometimes.  :)
