Do you write on a computer? Do you print frequently? Do you correct on paper? What is your process?
Some writers like to write first in longhand, then transfer their writing to the computer. They say the like the process. Not me. I remember trying to rearrange something I'd written back in the typewriter days and I feel awe for all the writers who worked miracles using a typewriter. Not me. Give me the ease of my computer and I'm happy.
All that you mention I employ in my writing experience.
I like to do my first rough draft by hand. Then I usually type it out and do my preliminary revisions on the computer. Before I submit anything, I print it out and do a final revision on paper. I find you miss errors more easily on the computer.
I write on a computer, as well as on an assortment of pads on my nightstand and in the bathroom, kitchen, car, airports, hotels, etc.
that is a very good question.... because as I write on my computer and print it, I feel there is a tremendous difference between reading what I wrote on a screen rather than on paper... For me, I feel they are two different things.
Correcting the paper is the following step, then I go back to the computer to improve everything I had corrected before.... which becomes a NON-STOP process, for sure!
Computer. Cut and paste.
I write on the computer mostly. Once in awhile I write on paper. I print frequently, because I have had a lot of computer crashes. I do correct on paper.
I think Ray Bradbury's way is best:

Yes, I use a computer and often print out what I've written to see how it looks on paper. I then rewrite. And rewrite.
Writing on a computer is a blessing. I only print when finished.
I use both. Paper for long pieces. Computer for poems.
Computer. Cut and paste.
I write on a computer but I do not print out my manuscript until the first draft is completed.
I always write on a computer and print when I am done for the day. I usually proof it once during that period and make general corrections. The next day, before I start writing again, I go through the day before's work and make extensive changes which usually flow right into that day's work.
I start in long-hand, and once the thing is well started, I move to compose on the computer. I don't print it out until I think I have something like a first draft, then I print it, put it aside and start something else. After a week or so I go back read the draft; if I think it's okay, I will give it to my readers. |
