- Hi! I just jumped into this area when a nice person re-directed
- my question from alt.prose. (this would be message number 4990)
- I've had some interesting responses to the posting, and have
- profited from the discussion on longhand vs. computer already
- going on here. I'm posting this as a response to message 4948,
- becausof the mention of poetry.
-
- So, do you think that the genre being created has something to do
- with choice of writing in longhand or on a word processor? If I
- generalize that poetry is shorter than prose, and that the choice
- of any single word might be re-worked more in poetry than prose,
- does this make it more likely to be composed on a piece of paper?
-
- I was alsolooking at the thread on managing notes. If people
- are tending to store ideas on the computer, then it would seem
- they would use a word processer to write, and pull their ideas in
- from the database. Is this activity happening more with long
- fiction, any length fiction, or equally with poetry!
-
- Thanks for your time and thoughts.
