In reply to Sacha Black. That's a tough question Sacha. Everyone's time is different. I find it efficient because the pen glides along with my thoughts without stopping to second-guess myself, or without realizing I've hit a wrong key on the board which would automatically send me back to correct which I don't do while writing. My creativity doesn't flow looking at the screen. :)

I don’t think you are alone actually. I know quite a few writers who have to write the first draft of their novels by hand. I’m curious though, does it take you a long time to write a novel by hand? It would take me an extraordinary amount of time, yet there is something so satisfying about writing by hand… sigh. Thanks for reading and commenting 🙂

In reply to MENTALLY ME (@stuckinscared). I am completely with you. For longer things I type, the other occasion I hand write is when I am trying to learn something. For some reason it doesn't go in as well if I type. But I agree about poetry, occasionally I write flash fiction by hand too. Something not quite describable that means you need to write by hand. Thanks for commenting :D

Great thoughts here. I am a dinosaur and don’t feel creative without writing in longhand and entering after in computer, where revisions begin as I enter. Technology will always be changing, and unsaved words can get lost, but there’s nothing like looking through real handwritten documents, manuscripts, etc, in future years, directly from paper. 🙂

In reply to Ali Isaac. Neither can I actually, he has the annoying arrogance rather than the charming type. The wife's friend teaches his kids and says he doesn't like the bear either!

In reply to Sacha Black. Yeah... I just heard that from someone else. Sorry its raining on you, but glad I'm not missing our only fortnight of summer lol! Actually, I can't stand Bear Grylls, but we all need to learn survival skills, I think, along with first aid.

In reply to Ali Isaac. pahaha! exactly. It actually worries me. I used to know a lot more when I was a cadet. Maybe we all need a bit of Bear Grylls in our life! Except, I am a veggie and could never eat an animal! Hope the sun is treating you well.... ITS RAINING HERE!
