Computer or Notebook and pen?

Nothing irritates me more than doing things twice.

However, I find that writing with my favorite pen on lined notebook paper is surprisingly fulfilling. The story tends to flow easier that way, too. And when it comes time to type it out a round of editing occurs as the characters evolve from flowing ones to typed ones against a blank white page.

A notebook and pen are easier to carry around too. I have four children, my oldest is nine, so I spend a lot of time in the car, on the benches at ballgames or at the park.

Remember though, that a pen is not just a pen. I have my favorite and it is the one that I carry everywhere I go. It is the one that seems to write the story all on its own. Love your pen!

Paper is just paper though–napkins, old receipts, children’s homework sheets–anything works!

Which do you prefer?
