Which do you prefer?
1. Writing on lined paper with a pencil
2. Writing on lined paper with a pen
3. Writing on white paper with a pen/penicel
4. Typing on a computer... with your fingers
I say typing because I can type fast so it gets written faster. When I regular write my hands hurts a lot.

I do a little bit of both writing on paper with a pencil and typing. Usually it's typing...but sometimes, when my computer isn't available, it's on paper. I perfer typing.
Hinata, I suggest you slow down abit. You seem to make a lot of spelling mistakes when you type. And...look at the screen, not the keys. It helps.

Now that's a good one.
I prefer typing most of the time. It's fast, it's easy and it doesn't hurt my hands. Microsoft Word is my program of choice to use.
But when I get writer's block or lose my inspiration, I take a break from the keyboard and pick up a pen and my draft book (lined, just so your question gets answered) and write away.
It's a lot easier for me to draft on paper. I think it's because I see typed words as valuable. I spent hours and hours learning how to type quickly, and to type a draft up on the computer only to find that I don't like it later and delete it seems like a terrible waste of time and effort. That's why I'm reluctant to do it in the first place.
When I handwrite, I feel that I have my whole book to fill with notes and ideas, and since I'm not as close to pen and paper than I am the keyboard, I don't mind drafting something in a book and not using it later - at least it's there, and I can see what I wanted to do with the story in a few years time when everything's over and done with.
I like chronicling stuff, recording it in journal-sort things. So when I write something in my draft book, it's there to stay. I don't have to write down my exact thoughts to let my future self know what I wanted way back when.

Drafting on lined paper is a great thing to do. For ametuers and for professionals. It gives you the chance to shape ideas into what you will eventually use in a good rough copy. Give you the idea of direction...instead of needing to erase everything in your original typed document. If you don't do this, then...change. Do it.

I prefer typing, it allows you to just go insane and put things down without wondering if it looks legible.

Even little things like hand-typing site addresses and image codes instead of copying and pasting them would help, or just spending more time conversing through instant messaging.
It would benefit us all, you in particular.

And spell checks are never a hundred percent reliable.

No, but i do go to your house almost every weekend. And I see you type stuff and I see the stories you type and i've been thought your files before. So i should know I guess. well i only wrote one story before and it's because I couldn't get to the computer fast enough. It was the one with hinata.

I like the feel of writing on paper with a nice sharp pencil, but I would typing is much more effient for me. So most the stories on paper are to get rid of writer's block or because I missed paper too much. But somtimes being at the computer so much is bad for your eyes ( eek ) So i don't type too much and i lose urge to write. So paper is better in some ways.
