It's not due to preference, but circumstance. I can't exactly drag my desktop out and about. I don't care much for laptops though. Seems everyone I've had dies within two years of it's purchase (or maybe it's just Toshiba?) Either way, my computer seems to speed up my process, except for revision, like you mention. Then it's me, paper, and my trusty PURPLE pen. LOLD. F.

I too remember writing back in the days when "cut and paste" actually <i>meant</i> something; where you'd practically MEMORIZED the whole freakin' book by the time you were done 'cause you'd retyped it <i>just that much</i>. It was really not as much fun as the pen and paper crowd likes to make out. <br /><br />I mean, yeah, I like camping too, but that doesn't mean I want to <i>live</i> outdoors.PG Fortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819909187492632526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-21156588299437653342011-01-19T08:54:07.465-05:002011-01-19T08:54:07.465-05:00Oh I love that - bullpucky!!!

I still have a big lump on my right middle finger from how I hold my pen. I can type about as fast as my brain works, but I sure can't write longhand that fast - which actually slows down my creative process. Though sometimes I may complain about it (lost documents, grrr) I love my computer.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865842550376328393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-39996179461043055452011-01-19T06:56:19.382-05:002011-01-19T06:56:19.382-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
