The word processor is a better tool than a quill pen because you can do so much more with it, but on the other hand, what you have to say and how you say it is the ultimate determination.

I don't use a computer in writing at all. I'm sort of old-fashioned about it.

My general working style is to write everything first with pencil and paper, sitting beside a big wastebasket. Then I use Emacs to enter the text into my machine.

I still use a typewriter from time to time, but because I can't type as well as I used to, I really don't use one very much.

I don't feel I write fast. I write in longhand and do so much revision. On the page, it's so old-fashioned. I could write a whole novel on scrap paper, scribbles and things. I keep looking at it and something develops. For me, using a word processor would mean staring at a screen for too many hours.

I write and do all my arrangements on my Mac. And um, I use Logic Pro, which is a great software program.

I often write in pencil on paper and then type up later. It's much quicker than using a keyboard.

After ten years of word processing, I can't even do hand writing anymore.
