Do you write on a computer? Do you print frequently? Do you correct on paper? What is your process?
Yes,
No.
No.
Write. Rewrite. Store. Revisit. Edit. Store. Edit. Eventually, add page numbers and headings and "pretend" it is finished.
I start by printing in a notebook then enter what I've written in the computer and go onto correcting mistakes from there.
Yes I use a computer to write stories. Sometimes it is easier to simply close your eyes and roll with the flow of storytelling with fingers dancing over the keyboard.
I edit on both paper and screen, depending if I am happy with the flow of words. The idea with storytelling is to only use the words necessary to tell the story. Every word has its place and meaning. If I am not happy with the flow of words I will print out the page in book format and edit from there.
I mostly write by hand on paper, then I type it up and read it. I usually print it out after typing it up an I make corrections immediately.
I currently write on computers for the most part. I also like to print on lined paper though. And I like to print out some work once and a while and read it, for two reasons. The first is that I prefer to read paper rather than screens. The second is that there will always be a certain level or unreality to the work read on the computer as opposed to work you are holding in your hands. I don't know if this is the case for others but it seems most obvious to me.
I prefer my hand-dandy lap-top but it's not always accesible (like when I leave my charger in Jacksonville and the battery is dead- or when I'm in class) When I don't have it I write on the community desktop or one of my many notebooks lying around.
Always.
No.
Not these days.
I like to polish on days after the original input.
Mostly computer..occasionaly write long hand by the pool. I correct on the computer.
I write on my laptop. I print out each chapter, once written and roughly edited, so I can then pick up any mistakes on the printed page, as i find it's a break from the PC screen.
I ususally type everythign out on computer, though if I am at school or something I will write down a thought or point form and them put it on the computer. When I get to a certain point in my writing or I have alot down and I might be at a pause or break I prin thte thing off and will go over it, however I do just sit and edit it on computr as well.
For poetry, it usually gets scribbled all over a notepad in the middle of the night, then tidied up on the computer later on. With books, I start the ideas and skeleton on a pad too, then do all the writing on the computer. With articles, I just sit and type... I used to use a manual typewriter before I got my first computer. I don't print out my work very often. I usually order a POP printed copy of a book for myself to double-check on typos before releasing it publicly though. There are sometimes small boo boos that I miss when sitting at the desk.
Sometimes computer, often by hand on paper.
Yes I do print out and correct on paper. Lately I have been correcting on the computer in another colour, to save paper.
Yes, I write on a computer and I generally read my drafts on the computer. Printing massive pages out is an expensive business, but if I have finished a number of drafts and I'm reasonably happy with the manuscript then I would print it out, go somewhere quiet and edit.
I write on my laptop. We have become very close and personal friends.
Write. Re-write. Edit. Complete draft and commit to pdf all on computer.
Re-write and re-draft. Correct plot hiccups and check dialogue.
After second draft. Print out if needed but in the main use the computer to adject re-write and re-edit.
Make it tighter. Cut out the superlatives. Keep it visual. Chop out the clever bits. Make it bright and pithy. |
