The perk to private writings is that you don't have to worry about how crappy they are/if they have a plot or not. Just keep your creativity flowing, else it'll clog up.
I only handwrite when I really have to. I normally just write down the basic idea until I can get home, and even then I sometimes don't get down to actually typing out the idea. I have about eight pages of writing prompts, both fanfic related and other. BEEN SITTING THERE FOR ALMOST A YEAR, SOME OF THEM. OH, GLOBS.
My brain goes too fast for my hand and pencil to handle. I type 90 WPM on average, so it's much easier for me to use the keyboard as compared to the pencil. Pencil speed would be about 12 WPM. xD
I find that my writing inspiration comes in waves. I can go months without writing a thing (creatively, at least) and then all of a sudden BOOM TONS OF WRITING WHAT. And I don't usually notice a big drop in quality... but I may be mistaken.
I've found that writing fanfiction has made my personal writings diminish considerably. I can't seem to be able to balance the two.
Being a writer since I was born--I swear I popped out of my mom with a pencil in my hand, :P--it's almost painful to go long periods of time without writing something. And writing in my personal journal and writing essays for class doesn't count. I don't know how I'm still alive, but I'm suffering considerably.
Bought a bunch of writing books with unique prompts in them, though. Those should help. 8D

: P I envy you. I wish I had a steady quality. DON'T LOSE IT, BB. IT'S A HUGE BLESSING TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Long periods of no writing make me sadface. In fact, I started writing fanfiction so that a no-writing-period wouldn't happen. :B
