Typing vs. Pen to Paper

why pen to paper is better for your creative writing. (in my humble opinion).

you can't edit them as you go. all your thoughts are forced to be exposed on the page for you to reflect upon and analyze. That is the best though because seeing every ounce of what you're feeling in front of you directs you to the best conclusion.

no distractions. all your attention is focused directly on the page in front of you. the white blank page staring at you almost begs you to write on it. you want to fill it up. you are not distracted by "oh what's this new feature?" or an advertisement or even tempted to check facebook or twitter. (the horror!)

the sound. the sound of typing is so yuck. it's so 21st century technology. it is a sound that fills our loooong daaaaaays with school work, business work etc. pen to paper just flows. its silence allows you to hear your thoughts clearly.

it is out of your comfort zone. we spend so much time on the computer that to be creative on it is just bleeech. not possible. the internet is like an entirely separate world from the real world. when we take ourselves away from the internet, we are that much more forced to be focused on the real. the now. the uncomfortable.
