Ive never written on a typewriter. :o

I do all my journaling by hand. I prefer to write stories on the computer though.

*resurrecting for donuts. Sorry*

I prefer to write by hand, but if I'm writing on the computer, I need MS Word. Currently I have OpenNote because I don't want to pay the extortion fees for MS Word, but it just doesn't feel as comfortable.

Generally, I would read what I handwrote into MS Word and then edited from there. I feel a great deal of hostility to editing my written works. It's so much easier to erase/change/move things around in electronic form. I don't know why I'm more protective of the physically written stuff, but I have so many hoarded stories that have never made it to the computer and take up several boxes. I can't bear the idea of throwing them away.

I also have so many save files of stories. I try to get organized, but it's super-boring.

I sometimes write in notebooks, especially when I already have one handy (when I was in school, I'd often flip to the back and jot down some stuff while waiting for the teacher to start class, shhh ).

On the other hand, most of my serious/longer stuff I do on the computer. Mostly because I do a lot of editing as I go along and often I want to add stuff in the middle of things I've already written, which is difficult in a notebook.

I prefer the keyboard since I can type faster than I can write. :) I do love the feel of a pencil on a paper though, and sometimes ideas do flow faster when I use a pencil. I can do the basic outline on paper, then move to a keyboard.

Paper all the way for me. I actually always have to rewrite notes to study sadly .

But, electronics are good when classes go way too fast for me to keep up. Also, profs tend to already have slides and using a touch screen to draw - for example, organic chem reactions - really help.

But in general I way prefer notebook. It may not be as fast, but when I really need to I will use a keyboard but theres a high chance ill rewrite it anyways.

While writing stories, I will always choose to write on my computer, because I can sometimes write a whole chapter and then realize I don't like it. If I'm writing in Microsoft Word or something, I'll be able to simply delete it, but if I wrote it in a notebook, I'd have to tear out a couple of pages. Not only that, but when I'm writing something on a paper, I want it to look good. In school, I have to write as fast as possible and when I come home and look at my notebooks, I get frustrated because of how bad my writing looks. And because I know that if I had more time, I would have written it much better. But, I'm kinda of a perfectionist, so yeah...

I prefer working on the computer because my handwriting is terrible.

I prefer keyboard. I can type pretty fast and I have autocorrect and spell check. My handwriting is really bad and if I have to write for a while, exerting energy over such a small area in such a precise fashion makes my hand cramp up. I have ADHD and have a hard time doing that, where in typing, my fingers are more spaced out and they move more. I often find myself going back over written notes because I realize that letters look weird or messy and I don't want to be stuck in that position where I can't read what I wrote, which has happened to me.
