Why I Don't Write With Pen and Paper
In these digital days writing with pen and paper seems all the rage.
A few decades ago I used these tools to write a full-length book, all 216 pages of it. Plus a third more material I cut while editing. And I kept a personal journal for years.
Although a practical necessity back then, it was an awful, time-consuming experience that brought no value to me. No more. Now I use pen an paper only for short notes of up to a couple of lines, and computers or other devices for all the rest.
You’ll have to pry my digital writing tools from my cold, dead hands.
