Simple Question

[sylv_]

Do you compose best with a pen and paper or typing at a computer?

I suspect I do better with a pen and paper but that turns it into a two-step process and I'll often think "Maybe I shouldn't write any more until I type up the bulk of it in word" and that always, always leads to stalls.

How about all of you?

For me, I think it depends on what mood I'm in. I normally do a lot of extra writing on the computer; add a few things that weren't in my notes. But for the major writing project I'm half working on, I have books upon books and paper that I have notes, sketches and the like.

Also the books are good for light travel and waiting for the bus. How many people do you see typing at the bus stop? And I don't mean the blackberries. :)

Brainstorming on pen and paper I guess.

It's ridiculous how much my touch typing outclasses my handwriting for speed.
