Do you still write with Pen and Paper to jot down your ideas?

Well I usually write in the computer if i have ideas because i find it more pratical and useful.

I do, yes. I find using a pen and paper really useful.

I too focus better on paper. The ideas tend to get lost in the mess that is lights and buttons of the computer. Also I draw some of my ideas out picture wise which I cannot do on a computer.

Its a good question to ask, I mostly these days too use a pen for scribbling down my ideas and thoughts. Mostly the silliest of the ideas are the one's which prove pretty useful. These days with my laptop too, I am liking the idea of going for the notepad or worksheet scribblings, like you too suggest. The overwritten points and make-over lists do put an additional informational idea to us when we gaze at it after sometime. Yet the original enthusiasm would come by holding a pen and keep on writing.

Not anymore, I am depending on my notepad. Since 16/24 I am using computer either at home or at office.

yes i still do writing with pen and paper. i even have a notebook to jot down anything that comes in my mind. like my market list or anything that we need to buy for the house, or to jot down our daily expenses, so that i will know where the money goes, or jot down a poem. . anything. i like writing and seeing my penmanship. i misses the times when i was still studying and playing with my writings, wheter it is cursive or not. i just love it =)

if i am writing an article, i generally have word open and work on it there. i am a faster typer than writer plus, its easier to erase words or sentances on the computer.

I always try to have paper and pen with me so that when I decide that I have an idea to write about, I can jot it down and not forget it. plus, I take notes of stories that I hear or of websites that I know of that I do not want to forget.

I do,and one of the thing that is always inside my bag is pen and paper. I always carry pen and paper when i go out,go to malls or have some stroll. I love to write my ideas in a paper first before having it finalized. happy weekend

I will still write down my writing ideas with pen and paper. Sometimes it is quickest way not to lose the thought and paper and pen is usually handy. there is no waiting for the computer to boot up.

Not anymore. When I was just learning how to use the computer, I'd use pen and paper all the time to write something. Later on, I have gotten used to typing it directly using the computer and I now feel at ease using the technology.

Yeah,I always do that in that way I can focus more on what's on my mind.If I type directly and post,it will take me longer time before I finish.By writing it, you can add more words to your topic or response.

I have a journal and there are ideas in my mind that I forget if I dont write then down so I really write them down. I sometimes make use of my cellphone to do that job for me but writing it is still the best way.

Oh, do you mean before you post on here or somewhere else? No, I'd rather just type it all out. But I'm a list person.. I like to make lists to get things done. I used to write all my list down on paper but now I've started to type them all up on my computer. I usually have to write something out, or type it out, to get everything out that I want done.

yes, i still follow the same thing, then only i feel like i'm getting interest over things.

Short Pencil is better than a long memory. I always have my pen and notepad with me wherever I go. I write spontaneously. I am not use to write rough drafts. When writing articles I go directly in typing it, the ideas flow freely with my hands on the keyboard. I am not abandoning my pen and notepad in writing my articles. But I used them in some other ways, like if I am outside without my computer and needs to jot down something...

I still write use paper and pencil because I have no personal computer yet.(I'm planning to earn good amount at mylot to buy my own pc.) And the other night, I was able to write 15 discussions I could start. I wrote it on a paper. It's just too bad the paper flew and I could no longer find. I learned a lesson from that. I'm planning to buy a small notebook exclusively for mylot.

Am more comportable with writing using pen and paper rather than typing it,because I used to practiced it for the past year of my writing carreerWhen I start writing using this it encourage me more and for the unknown reason it generates my brain.

Just like you, i make use of my pen and paper to scribble down thoughts and ideas. I would always have a pair in my bag to jot down any thought or idea that may suddenly come up. As i ride a jeepney and when suddenly a thought or idea came, i would jot down it down and when i get home expound on it. It's also useful in jotting down needs that you thought of buying. It is this way , that my discussions at Mylot are done.

I still do. I usually conceive my writing ideas on paper, especially if I'm in desperate need of one. I usually keep a small notebook and an attached pen for this purpose. I also write lists (due to my mild OCD) for any activities or tasks that needed to be done. In extension, i write all my appointments so I don't forget them easily. Apart form the lists and ideas, i also write all my drafts into paper before actually encoding them into the computer. It has been my practice since high school and I found out that it works better for me and my work. Writing my draft on the paper helps me focus (the computer is a good tool to complete distraction, especially if you have an internet connection). It also helps shape my thoughts for a longer period of time without being distracted by the internet or any computer applications.
