I write on paper to get the idea down. Then type it into the computer when I have a chance. I still have at least 20 story ideas on paper with nothing on the computer, but I have at least 20 in the computer in some form or another :-)

Writing and Reading, what else is there to do in your spare time. lol

>I wrote a dozen stories, maybe, and something that may qualify as a novel. Two stories even got published (first one got even paid, the second won a prize I never received). I'm writing, sort of, for 25 years now, and my opus could fit maybe two paperbacks :). I'm slow. Or rather, not so slow to write, but it takes me a looong time - weeks, months, to get back to it.

>Want to talk about technique, down-to-Earth technique. I wrote only my first story on paper, because it was before I had my first computer (ZX Spectrum, yeah!). Then I didn't have an editor, so I wrote it as comments in a program - 10 REM it was a dark and stormy night...

>Then I bought an editor, then another machine, then converted via floppies into pure text, took them to work, ran troff on them for formatting (on the VAX), then moved them to WordStar, to Atari's 1st Word, then to Word, then to HTML, and eventually into... HTML in memos. I've had a lot of fun programming my pencils :).

>Once, after hurricane Isabel, we were without power for 11 days - and guess what, with nothing to do, I took a docket and started adding page after page. Could be that all those years of writing on paper do something to you, you get into the mood or something. I didn't have to change much when I put that on disk.

>I still write very little on paper. Even my notes are just a few jotted lines - I don't know whether I use a whole sheet of paper a day.

>So, ok, I've told my side of it, now you tell me yours and let me know if there's a good group therapy for (against?) this.
