MobileRead Forums

I read this thread => “George RR Martin: “Why I still use DOS” <= at the MobileRead Forums and someone made a comment about pen and paper being old school to the extreme. It made me feel a little weird, because a lot of times I write stories by hand, then I type them up when I have a fat stack of pages.

There’s something about words flowing straight out of my hand onto the paper that appeals to me. Plus it keeps me from being able to go back and edit myself while I’m writing — the only direction is forward. When I make a mistake, erasing it involves scribbling things out, so I try not to make mistakes in the first place. I am forced to keep the story moving because there’s no room to change things without making a mess.

How do you write?
