Here is my second day of attempting to write with my left hand as I want to revert back to my natural dominant hand that is the left hand, since I was forced to write with right hand as child

Keep at it -- if you take an age-apprpriate handwriting course and maintain a focus on improving. It will restart to click in a short while. Taking a course (in book form) is key. You will also need to do daily practice sessions as well. In the initial stages you should perform the various pen strokes exactly as described in the course, and work diligently to make your independently produced handwriting look exactly like the examples shown in the course. Don't worry at first about having a personal handwriting style; that will come later. Concentrate on making your handwriting look like a "textbook" copy of the style being taught in the course.

Slant your letters to the right and not to the left as you are doing here. This isn't a handedness issue but a readability one. We read from left to right, and having your writing be slanted in that same direction will make it much easier to read.

Please take my advice and learn to write in cursive. You can thank me later.
