An inquiry for my curiousity.

I do most of my writing on the computer. Saves trees and makes it easier to keep track of. My handwriting is very readable, but my hand tends to cramp up if I write more than a page or two anyway. I do most of my handwriting at work, for obvious reasons. Got a little notebook where I keep important information as well as jot down anything that comes to me during my shift.

I also make sure I triple back-up everything I do, so I'm not as worried about random meltdowns as I used to be. Learned my lesson after the last computer died for no reason. Not that pen and paper is much better, I've lost quite a few notebooks over the years, mainly from all the moving and resettling and all that. That more than anything convinced me to use the computer for my fiction. Files can be recovered, but a lost notebook can't be recreated. Even my memory isn't that good. (Though I do have an easier time remembering things once I write them down, this ability does have limitations.)

I love typing and I love writing (no idea why), but I spend a lot of time on my PC or laptop, so i mostly type things.

But when I was at college studying I.T software, almost every single thing was done on a computer, including assignments, so after quite a while I went to write something and found that my handwriting was suddenly appalling! It was almost as though I'd forgotten how to write! lol

Nowadays I find I make a lot of notes and it's just easier writing notes onto paper, so I do a bit of both. At least with typing, you're less likely to get hand cramps.
