I write longhand; I make changes longhand, and I have an assistant who types it up. She lives 70 yards away. Every afternoon, I have a case I leave out on the porch, and she brings it back the next morning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.
By the time I sit down ready to write, I've done a lot of longhand and a lot of note collecting along the way.
I always write my first draft in longhand, in lined notebooks. I move around the house, sitting where I like, and watch the words spool out in front of me, actually taking a lot of pleasure in the way they look in my strange handwriting on the page.
I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.
Writing long hand is the last refuge. One needs the time it takes to put pencil to paper and let it run along the ruled line.
I do a lot of revising on paper. Sometimes I think I should just write longhand - what I type reads very different once I print it out.
I've always written by hand. Mostly with a fountain pen, but sometimes with a pencil - especially for corrections.
I used to write stories. Handwriting stories in school were a big deal for me. That's kind of what I did.
I mostly write on my own, walking, outside.
I write all over the house. Because I write in longhand, I can go anywhere I want... I have some notebooks here and there, and then I type it in and pull it out, and I do the revisions all over the place.
