I just sit at a typewriter and curse a bit.

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

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

I think the computer is a hindrance to good writing because it is so tempting to leave what you've written. If you use a typewriter, you must retype if you make a mistake, and thus, you must re-examine every word.

I happen to write by hand. I don't even type.

Before I liked to write, I liked to type. I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter.

I'm kind of a Luddite myself. I've got a bunch of typewriters at home. I'm a big fan of old technology.

All novelists write in a different way, but I always write in longhand and then do two versions of typescript on a computer.

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.
