Writing can be a very isolating profession. By its very nature, you spend a lot of your time barricaded in your house or office, typing on your own.
I happen to write by hand. I don't even type.
I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.

I used to write stories and poetry, but for some reason I have it in my head that if I'm going to write, I have to write a script.
One writes what one can, or has to, write.
That isn't writing at all, it's typing.
When I began to write and used a typewriter, I went through three drafts of a book before showing it to an editor.
