I like the physical action of writing down by hand, and I don't just use it for writing my fiction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do write by hand. I just think - I don't know, it's a physical thing for me. It's a bodily thing. It literally has to earn its way through my hand.
I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see.
I love writing. I think writing and directing go hand in hand.
I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.
I write by hand and then transfer the text onto the computer. I like the process of actually having a pen in my hand. Things flow more easily for me that way.
I find writing extraordinarily difficult and not very pleasurable, though I find having done it very pleasurable. I won't lie about that.
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 usually write on a computer - unless I get stuck, at which point I switch to write by hand. I think that's common among writers if they get cornered on something.
I've always written by hand. Mostly with a fountain pen, but sometimes with a pencil - especially for corrections.
Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.
