Writing my hand or typewriter is relaxing. Writing by a PC is a chore.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-50581939452091381862014-07-21T09:59:16.110-07:002014-07-21T09:59:16.110-07:00The biggest reason I have trouble letting go of us...The biggest reason I have trouble letting go of using pen(cil) and paper for my fiction writing is this: time and time again I write little things by hand and misplace them, rewrite on the computer because I'm in a hurry, and then find the original handwritten text and prefer it.<br /><br />Just one example: as I continued working on transcription last night, I couldn't find part of one scene in my notebook, so I recreated as best I could from memory. On the computer, I wrote "...hit me like a blow to the stomach." When I found the handwritten text, it said, "...hit me like a sucker punch to the gut." Objectively speaking, I'm not sure one is *better* than the other, but I like the sucker punch. ;-) And it's almost always like that, handwritten vs. computer. I'm maybe more direct on the computer, simpler...but handwritten feels more honest.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-78453404960624848512014-07-20T19:09:38.265-07:002014-07-20T19:09:38.265-07:00There is no better way to take notes on the fly th...There is no better way to take notes on the fly than with a pen and paper.
