What a Mess

I knocked over my coffee on a pile of paper notes on my kitchen table. Yes, I still write things down on paper. I am still not fully convinced that my notes won't be lost somewhere in cyberspace.
Call me old fashioned but I do know this, I have lost some of my notes when for some unknown reason my laptop up and changes the site I am on.
Fortunately I was able to save most of my notes. The ones that were too stained I was able to see well enough to copy them on clean paper.
Does anyone else out there feel like this? Do you also feel the need to write things down?

I love paper and pens and all things to write on. These are only a few book I use to note everything from novel ideas to journaling. There is a special creative bonus to writing vs typing. I hope you didn't lose anything in the coffee flood :-(

@WriterGirl44 I think it is easier for me to organize things if I have them on paper to shift around.

I've been writing things down. I trust my notes more than this laptop.

@rina110383 so do I. I love my laptop but it is what I am using when I lose my stuff in cyberspace.

I have to write things down so I won't forget them. Even if I had cell phones and nonsense like that I don't think I would trust them.

@HazySue Okay, how do you forget where you put it when you need to title everything? The only thing I lost on the computer lately was an article I saved for our Writer's Group, but put it under some different title and can't remember what title I gave it and looking through all my docs didn't give me any clue where it was.
