Paper or Computer?

Paper, all the way. I can word vomit all over the page, rip it apart with an eraser and my pencil, and then make it look awesome. It's nice when you type it up as well, it gives you an opportunity to actually reread what you said and realise "That sounds really stupid."

I only write poetry on paper... it looks too clean on the computer. Poetry isn't clean... or at least, mine isn't. Hooray for messes.

Computer, for the simple reason that I can type much faster than I can write. Plus, I have atrocious handwriting. Sometimes I can't even read some of it myself XD /fail D:

I can't read my own handwriting half of the time.
So computer.
I hurt my hand a lot while I'm using pen and paper, too, and I write too slowly. With a computer I can type really quickly and my wrists don't hurt unless I'm at the computer for like...fourteen hours. Which I never am, thankfully.

Paper, even though I'm a bit like Operatic Skeleton. It takes me a while to translate my own handwriting after. I write better when I'm phsyically writing. I think the time it takes for me to write a sentence allows me time to think of what's next. The writing just flows better when it's on paper, for me.

Computer., because I can type a lot faster than I can write. And I easily lose paperworks so I'd rather have them saved in a folder in my computer.

But sometimes I think I prefer paper, simply because anytime when I'm bored, I could continue whatever it is that I am writing. And whenever I do it on the computer, I get distracted and use the internet instead.

So I really don't know. I guess it depends.

I usually use the computer.
Mostly because it's easier to go back and change things later.
I find that I don't always write lineally and I'll need to go back and add in more dialogue or detail.

I write everything on paper first. Mostly becuase I like to write outside, and I don't have a laptop.

I write straight to the computer for most things. unless I don't have a computer near me at the time, in which I'll jot down the jist of the idea until I'm back at my laptop.

I type faster than I write. And I think faster than I type. Sometimes I find it hard keeping up with my head when I'm typing, let alone writing. So I'll plan a really good sentence whilst I'm writing one and by the time my scrawly handwriting gets to writing that sentence, I've forgotten it.

And I never know how long it will be, if I write it on paper, when I type it up. It might look like I've written loads on paper, but as soon as it gets typed up, there's barely anything there.

I generally prefer the computer, it is much neater for me and easier to red through than my chicken scratch slow writing. But if I have an idea during school that strikes me like lightning, I like to keep my notebook and a pencil or pen handy.

I start on paper and then finish on the computer.
I hate typing up usually, but if I need to, I will.

When I'm done with the paper, it goes in the drawer under my bed with all my TG stuff and so on, or my top drawer in my cabinet thing. It all depends on the size of the paper.

And I always have to have a notepad with me, for comfort. I can go for a long time without actually using it, but I feel like I need to write down a lyric or something, and so usually, starting lines end up there and I'll write them a billion times and not actually use them. So those end up in the drawer.

I find it easy to start it out in my notebook, and come back to type it after.
That way, I can make many changes before I start to actually edit it. My emotions and feels change from time to time, and that was I can
inhanse the way I'm writing. I also think there's some kind of magic about having written words other than typed copies. Like there's
more of a life inside the pen ink than the printer ink. However, I get very distacted when I go to type it up because I already know the story.

Plus, I have a computer room.
To write in it is annoying.

I've tried to write on paper but I love to edit my work and the paper ends up with scribbles everywhere (I'm a perfectionist and can't deal with that). So the computer usually gets the excitement of seeing my story first =]

Definitely a computer, because it's a lot quicker, and it's easier to edit.
I know a couple of friends who write and then lose their paper where they'vew written out chapters... I really don't want that to happen to me! XD

Also, it puts me in the mood for writing, y'know? It's weird to explain. But yeah, definitely computer.

Paper is cool for ideas and word vomit in Math. (Math helps me think. She just rambles on....) but computer for actually writing.

Despite the fact that I spend most of my time on the computer, I like to write on paper first.

I find it easier to start. Paper is always my first draft. And I write at night when I'm half asleep. So I figure it doesn't matter what it sounds like on paper. It's nice just to get it all out as a first draft. It doesn't have to be perfect, sound perfect, have absolutely everything I want in it. It just has to be.

Then, in the morning I'll type it up on the computer. This lets me change things as I type it up and add things and reword things.

When I type up something straight to the computer I use backspace too much and have to find the perfect wording first time around.

At least with paper you have all of your first wordings. You never know, you might need to use them again.

Plus, computers can crash and them BAM. You've lost your work.

I write most of my stuff on paper first, simply because that's when I first get inspired. Then I transfer it to the computer. Some of my writing is originally on the computer though.

My two chaptered stories, and actually my third on hiatus, are all written in my writing notebook no matter what first. I refuse to just type it out. I like a hard copy. :file: And the typed versions are password protected. So nobody but me can read them no matter what.

I would like to say paper, because I hate notebooks stuffed with so MUCH.

I guess I like the advantages of both, because I am a professional-type writer, so I go through the whole process with brainstorming and revision and drafts upon drafts upon drafts. I can do all my rough drafts on paper, and proofread like eight different copies, and then make even more changes when I type it up. I have a weird system, but I grew up watching my father write, and his writing was always the one thing that he was organized and professional about, so i guess I took after him.

My dad's my beta. :XD

Mm... depends on where I am. But when I write it on paper and read it after I'm done, it comes out all wrong for me. :shifty

My handwritings proper printed and pretty so I write on paper because it looks good :shifty

I'm using paper for "My Ceiling Demons".
Like "To the Bones", it just helps the story come more naturally.
