Which is preferable when writing?

[goobaloo]

Which writing medium would you say is your favorite? Personally, I enjoy using a keyboard, but if the story has personal sentiment using mechanical pencil on heavy paper is my personal choice.

I like the pen, because It can be different colours, depending on the story. Good pens have a certain... flow to them, which is nice. You can't erase, but If your writting on loose leaf, It's propably not super duper important.

For me, I love coil binders (you know what I'm talking about?) and a nice, flowing pen. If no pen, then a mechanical pencil, but I don't really like pencils...

If I'm not using a computer, I have to use a pencil. Because I erase. A lot. Pen just doesn't work for me and I get it all over my hands..... xp

A computer is preferable by far: spellcheck (I'm only an average speller), the fact that my crappy penmanship doesn't show, and the ease with which a page can be edited and sentences reworded, it really helps me to be able to write out a sentence several different ways until I like it. However, if pushed to use paper, I would have to give it to the pencil.

Pencil!!!! I don't write all that much but when I do thats what I go for....probably because I draw with pencil..yeah.

Hmmm... for me, I think my preference is to a heavy ink pen. I like big, bold letters. They make me feel like I've accomplished something. But that's only if NotePad isn't available.

I'm keyboard all the way. I type faster than I write and I don't hurt my hands as badly typing than I do when I'm holding a pencil. > __ >;;

That, and I can save my documents on the computer, and I usually lose stories I write by hand.

I'm for pen. It just works better for me. I write better in pen than I do in pencil. It gets all over my hands. However, the best story I wrote was written in pencil. So, I don't know. Either.

I'll use computer, pencil, or pen. All work for me. I like paper more than keyboards, though, and I prefer pens over pencils. Sure, they don't erase, but they're more fun. 3nodding

I think pen is more professional looking but I tend to put in stuff backwards or completely leave words out soooo.... I like pencil. I also enjoy fetching the dictionary when I can't spell something, it makes me feel slightly smarter... for some reason. o_O

If my computer is not occupied by my brother then I like to type because i can type much faster than i can write. But if I really had to chose I have a notebook and I like Pen because I can write faster with it and not worry about the led braking.

I'm all for computer really but when I'm in class or I've got a study hour or there's just no PC available I usually take pen though I have a crappy handwriting. I erase alot too but I still don't use pencil >.< because I just like seeing what I did wrong and sometimes I write the same thing twice and it's both crap but maybe when I still see them I can use them both and make them better... =P It's kind of weird, liking to see the crap you put a line through but hey, it helps. =D

Oh I can not STAND coils. Bump my hand mess stuff up. I want BOUND books, like nice sketch books with NO lines to inhibit me! I regularly switch from writing to drawing and back again and don't like changing.

For writing full stories I am all about my laptop and it's glorious spell check. My vocabulary FAR exceeds my spelling abilities. And editing and coming back to it... I HATE re-typing in what I already wrote. If I wrote a whole story on paper chances are it will NEVER come to fruition on computer.

YES YES YES. Specifically, if not a thick Micron, a Pilot G2 0.7... not 0.5.

I LOVE those pens! I use them all of the time for school!

Personally I prefer pencil cuz I'm always erasing and i'm a really slow typer, but I'm working on that.
