I work with pen and paper. That's my favorite way to write. I love the way the ink sinks into the wood, soaks into the wood pulp. There's something about that process that's so organic.
Sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. That's a problem!
I can't imagine ever writing anything of any kind on a machine. I never tried to write either poetry or prose on a typewriter. I like to do it on useless paper, scrap paper, because it's of no importance.
I like the process of pencil and paper as opposed to a machine. I think the writing is better when it's done in handwriting.
For some reason when I write in cursive, it's easier and flows better for me to read that when I print.
Writing long hand is the last refuge. One needs the time it takes to put pencil to paper and let it run along the ruled line.
I write by hand and then transfer the text onto the computer. I like the process of actually having a pen in my hand. Things flow more easily for me that way.
Ever since high school I've been writing in a spiral notebook, in pencil. Everything looks too polished on a computer when you start writing, and I can't really see it. I feel like the words are much more naked in pencil, on a notebook.
