What role does the right and left brain theory play in a person who's left handed in stead of right handed?
Answer:
no it just means that the other side is more dominant.
Don't you know that only left handed people are in their right minds?
Sorry, couldn't resist the old joke. Actually, I don't think that's true. Those areas of the brain remain the same regardless of handedness.
It's been my experience that people who talk about "left brain" and "right brain" -- especially who categorize people this way -- don't know what they're talking about.
There's a lot of nonsense about this stuff floating around pop culture that has nothing to do with the real science.
But to get to your question.
The right hemisphere controls the left half of the body; the left hemisphere controls the right.
Funny, isn't it?
Language is processed by an area on the left -- this is so for all humans, whether they're right-handed, left, or ambidextrous.
The "putting it all together" and judgement stuff are done in the frontal lobe.
But all of your brain is involved -- the parts that process the various senses, emotion, memory, etc.
For all big things we do, like writing a novel, say, a lot of areas are involved.
Here's a link to a site about the human brain, by New Scientist's website -- it's a UK science news publication:

There's a link there to see a labeled diagram of the brain, with what happens where explained. The Interactive Graphic.
Notice that the list of functions does not include "creativity" as there's no one area of the brain responsible for all types of creativity.
That's part of the problem with the over-simplifications and distortions of the pop-culture versions of the whole brain hemisphere stuff.
