Although my proactive writing work is always on the computer, I find that I like to write on paper when taking notes about something (such as a webinar). I absolutely hate having paper, so I wish I could break that habit, but there seems to be something about note-taking on physical paper that works for me.

I don't use paper at all, only type on the computer.

Handwriting is hands down my favorite way to write. My ideas flow much better, but you're right, it is time consuming. I used to write everything on paper and then type it up on the computer, but I recently got an e-ink tablet that's been a game changer. Feels like writing on paper, but it can convert my terrible handwriting to nearly flawless typed text that I can send straight to my computer. It saves so much time!

Same here, I always write on paper first and then type afterwards.

Most times, I use my phone pads or digital writing materials to do any form of writing. I only use paper when I want to get a general overview of what I want to write. When I do so, it gives me an outline of the things to write.

Judging by percentages, I would give 30 per cent to writing on paper and 70 per cent to writing on digital note pads. I use paper to draft out anything I want to write before converting the idea into a digital format.

I hardly write on paper anymore. I jot down points on my electronic devices.

I always like to write notes or draft an outline on paper then, use Microsoft Word or Google Docs for my drafts ad final. I always get writers’ cramp in between my thumb and my index finger of my right hand ( my writing hand) so, my hand could not hold up to writing a full draft plus, I always have to have lined paper such as a spiral notebook or composition notebook or else, I write all over the place and it gives me a migraine. I look forward to getting to know all of you, and can’t wait to hear about your books.

Nope, just on the computer, then copy and paste. Haven't written in a notebook since college, but unfortunately, I didn't keep it (it was a story, not a journal, since journaling is not my thing, sorry).

I only handwrite stuff if it's just personal notes and I have no intention of ever submitting or publishing it. I will rather type out poems on my tablet screen and have it go into the Pages app than handwriting out a poem. Same for story or novel drafts.

The only exceptions I've found are in making poetry broadsides, where handwriting out the poem is part of the art making process for the broadside. I might consider some handwriting for design considerations/sketches, but that's it.

I absolutely LOOOOVE writing on paper. I have so many fountain pen and notebooks that need to be put to good use. I feel like half of the writing, for me, is picking the right pen and then the right notebook to write the story in. There is something just rawer, I find, whenever I write it on paper. However, I do end up typing them up for editing purposes.

I'm usually writing on a screen, but often find myself missing that intimate pen to paper experience. So I still purchase notebooks and the works, just to scratch that itch of mine. Although a side effect of writing on a keyboard and screen so long is that I've lost patience in how long it takes to form letters and words

Writing is my hobby since I was in school even before I take a sleep I have to write some bible verse and writing my own program

I use both; pen, paper and the computer. I will say this, I really enjoy using a fountain pen and glimpsing my story coming to life upon a physical page!

I’m the same way! There’s something about writing by hand that helps me think more clearly, especially when brainstorming or outlining ideas. Typing is great for speed and editing, but pen and paper just feel more personal and creative to me.
