Do you still prefer the ussual type of writting (ink & paper)

I use my laptop a lot and I often write on my computer, but I also have lots of handwritten notebooks. In 1999 I started keeping a diary after a very long break, and at that time I didn't have a computer so I wrote my diary by hand. After that time I just continued to write by hand and today I have 12 or 13 handwritten diaries. I also have other handwritten notebooks for instanse a book where I write my plans, ideas and goals and a notebook where I write my poems. I also used to keep a handwritten dream journal, and I still have my old notebook, but I don't write down my dreams at the moment. In the past I often exchanged handwritten snail mail letters with my friends, but I have given up handwritten letters, and today I always write emails, because it is faster, easier and cheaper.

I know someone just like you, my own sister. She's not a writer or anything like that, but she does keep journals for just about everything in her life. She keeps track on her household expenses, her family's schedules, even her own business. And she does all that manually! At least for the business, I tried to get her to use a laptop or something, but she is way too comfortable doing it her way, meticulously writing down every single transactions.

I think I also prefer writing by hand. I don't mind writing on the computer, but I love to write in journals and notebooks so much more. I really love filling them up. I keep a diary, a dream journal, and an assortment of other notebooks in which I record random writings. The computer is just too cold and impersonal to me, though it doesn't give me writer's cramp like the pen and paper do.

I keep a gratitude journal where I log all the things I'm grateful for in a day. I try as much as possible to make it family-friendly so when my parents starts looking at it, there are not much personal information they can find in it. So that's the only thing where I use pen and paper. For more personal purposes like what really happened to me everyday, and experiences, I just record it online. I keep it somewhere online protected with a password so it's really like a secret diary.

I have started writing journals many times on paper but i always fail to update them and if i ever i wanted to write something, i'm too afraid someone would be able to read them. that would be really embarrassing. that is why i prefer posting online where it would be private. i don't usually have problems with my internet connection. though i don't like taking my laptop with me everywhere, i'm alright with posting every night when i have free time.

Actually, I prefer using my computer. I find it a whole lot faster than handwriting and sometimes a lot easier to read. I used to write blogs about once a month but haven't done any lately. I do like to write things, such as my bucket list, in a nice lined hardcover journal or notebook. I guess when it comes right down to it, it really depends on what I am writing as to which method I prefer.

Definately. I always am more articulate and more creative when I write on pen and paper. I like writing online too but sometimes, I over - work my eyes and I don't want to worsen my eye condition just yet. I still have my own collection of notebooks because you never really know when inspiration hits. Besides, a notebook doesn't rewrite an internet connection and an electric supply to express your thoughts.

I love writing. I love doing it on paper, I write my thoughts all the time actually. Its a release for me and it helps. I do still have notebooks from when I was younger. I like reading them now. Its amazing to see how much my thought process has changed. Its hard to remember certain things from years ago unless you have it all written down. I also love going to a peaceful place and writing poetry. =)

I have a close friend that shares the same interest with me -- writing on a journal. We seldom see each other -- only two to three times a year. When we meet, we exchange journals. :) We have more than a dozen journals that we keep. It is like updating each others lives. We feel connected then after reading. As of now, we both had stopped for some reasons.

I keep all of my notes here on notepads. But it's sometimes better to bring your own pen and paper and jut it down for yourself. Hard copy is better than soft copy because you can bring the hard copy anywhere you go.

:-) I write for a living (with a proof-reader of course, lol) and I still use ink and paper. When I started years ago I wasn't even able to sit in front of a computer. I have trained myself over time to do so but I still go to the beach or to a park next door with ink and paper as it gives me a lot more freedom, flexiblity and inspiration. If I get stuck, I print out some research that I have done on a subject and get ink and paper and go to one of my favourite places. Then I read the research article/s and make notes (or sometimes even write a whole article before I get back home in front of the computer to type it. If it is a difficult theme, I print the article/s out and go back to my favourite place to make more notes on paper or even to rewrite the whole article before I send it to my proof-reader). I do have to say that I do personal research on subjects and personal development and keep the hand written notes and journals (and I have collected boxes of them -even a storage container-over the years) while I prefer to store 'work' (research and articles) on the computer and back-up drives after I destroyed the handwritten notes etc as these don't seem to be to important to me... I have a few friends who have written/write books for a living and they all use ink and paper before they sit down to type it... Another thing that I have noticed-and you maybe too-is that when use handwriting we can detect our emotions as the writing seems to change (which has given me great 'sign posts' in the past when doing self developing courses). And again, the best inspiration is still to take ink and paper and to go outside and to find peace and relaxation to let the inspiration flow in a favorite spot. Unless you have found your favorite place behind your laptop, PC or typewriter while over looking a mountain area, lake or another secluded place...:-) And every now and then I go randomly through my old personal journals as they can give fantastic evidence of the development that has been done or clues where I still have to do some work on...

i love writing!!! i dont like to type everything because it takes me soooo long to get everything done. i have written 7 books starting when i was 13 and i do it all in these big notebooks. it gives me the chance to take my time and it improves my handwriting. i love to write everything down because i can just whip out my pen and notebook where ever i am and take notes. i dont have to find a computer, log on, pull everything up, and all that crazy stuff. i have filled almost 16 notebooks with my journaling, books, poems, and a bunch of other stuff. i carry some of them around with me and people at svchool think im crazy :) its a lot of fun and i will always prefer writing to all the tech stuff that confuses me. PEN AND PAPER BABY!!!!! rock on! i love to write :) even when my spelling is really bad. :0
