Writing vs. Typing
runawaywriter:
I was raised in the digital age as well. I'm 18. You'd think I'd be living on my computer or cell phone. I don't really; it's all well and good of course, it just tends to bother me. I don't know why writing appeals to me more than typing, but it just does. Perhaps I'm strange, but that's me, I suppose.
Snowleopard:
It's whatever works for you, RAW. (runawaywriter)
I used to be a writer - now, I'm slowly transitioning into a typer.
But I like to have a hard copy that I can mark up and make notes on
and if I don't have access to the computer then I'll hand write stuff.
It all works.
Paynesgrey:
Yeah, whatever works. Typing is far easier for me, and without Scrivener to make organization easy and efficient I'd give up and cry or something.
belial.1980:
A practicing psychologist I know has told me that writing by hand actually opens up different pathways in the brain. Because of this, thoughts are configured differently when writing through this method. I've experimented with it and found that, for me, it does work really well for stream of conscious type writing or brainstorming. But at the end of the day word processing is much easier and more efficient for me.
Do whatever works best for you. Write. Write lots. :)
cenwolfgirl:
I used to write... when I first started, but now when I have time to right I normally am on the laptop typing. I can type faster then most people talk. (not as fast as I can talk, but I talk really fast sometimes)
