- I usually write in longhand. It's where all my ideas go. But that's
- usually my first draft. The second time around I type it up (on a typewriter
- would you believe, some computer science student I am) I tighten up wandering
- sentences (my biggest flaw) realise that I've left stuff out in my speed of
- getting it all down (which mean s more longhand and more typing up and
- bits of stickytape). I find I'm totally stymied when I sit at a keyboard and
- need to write something creative.
-
- Oh, and I can't even think of writing poetry with anything but a paper and
- pen. I only type them up for neat presentation but the final form's decided
- long ago.
