Whatever.<BR/><BR/>For me, the physicality of pen and paper is almost necessary for the creative process. If I've penned in huge sections of text, but need a tiny bridge to connect them, I might do that on screen, but the majority of writing goes on paper. This means typing it in, which is a built in second draft. It also takes longer, but I'm a patient man.Tim Akershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01749644135364065658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16766354.post-1151584583482825852006-06-29T05:36:00.000-07:002006-06-29T05:36:00.000-07:00Just curious, so disregard freely.

A pen on a virgin paper might have a similar effect.Psychophanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692326818539793110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16766354.post-1148314728492672702006-05-22T09:18:00.000-07:002006-05-22T09:18:00.000-07:00Burn!
