I'm dyslexic so what does end up on paper isn't pretty. It only shows up when I rush, but when I get an idea my mind goes at a thousand words a minute. While writing I switch letters around, start words in the middle, and can barely spell 'napkin.' With my little laptop though, I can bang out 1000 words+ in an hour nonstop. I still keep a notebook by my bed for when I don't want to get up at four a.m. to type something up, but it only contains scenes and ideas. I love the romance of sitting at a desk or under a tree and scribbling away, but it doesn't work for me. I use the computer for all writing, from my fiction to school papers.

Over the years I have a need for both. For pen and paper I reserve concise creative writing (poems, short stories, songs). It is difficult to utilize full creativity when writing on computer. For research papers and longer stories I find it much easier to write everything out all at once and allow computer programs to help me edit. I dabble in both computer and paper.

I also thought of another idea - what about using a Notebook? I saw this guy using one (at least that's what I THINK it was) during Creativity a few days ago, and all he had to do was write on the screen using a stylus and the software would convert it into text. He said it was pretty accurate, and the screen twists and folds and everything, so it's really easy to write! Plus I also have a problem one of the previous comments mentioned - my hands sweat a lot when I'm writing. I've actually been diagnosed with pompholyx; a condition when excess sweating results in thousands of tiny boils erupting on the hands. It's kinda painful, and it itches a lot, not to mention it's started coming up 3-4 times a year rather than just 1-2 times... Even typing this took me 15 minutes because I had to keep stopping to wipe my hands. I've tried all kinds of treatment but it just won't stop. Does anyone have the same problem as me? Any suggestions? ^_^TheMidnightMarauder^_^ You’re welcome!!!
