I can type 10x faster and don't have to think so hard about every word because it takes insta-seconds to fix 'em... right then and there. And it feels that I get more out onto the "page" that way. But I do write the whole thing out before I allow myself to go back and read/edit it.

And a tip I learned the hard way: I usually type after I've accumulated between 5-10 written pages. Typing sooner isn't good because the work is too fresh in my head for a revision and, I feel, defeats the purpose of long hand composition. Waiting much longer results in a daunting pile of work to be done and leads to procrastination.<BR/><BR/>KirKirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392258605290912032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1971286725357301578.post-63796215894086428852008-07-06T01:07:00.000-04:002008-07-06T01:07:00.000-04:00What a lovely, wonderful post!

I had an interesting discussion with a fellow writer in a workshop I recently took. We both spoke of how, with backgrounds in business writing, we tended to edit as we went, which meant we produced in a sitting polished pages but less of them. It took forever to move our longer work forward. I've been wondering if I wrote long hand if it would force me to put more on paper and do less "editing" as I went? <BR/><BR/>I love your blog!!!<BR/>AnneACWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298402039722869768noreply@blogger.com
