For me, I rarely write on the computer. This is because I write in school a lot or before I go to bed in my room. I write in a little notebook
How about you?
-
I am attached to my computer. I rarely write in a journal anymore and when I do, I quickly transfer it to my computer. I guess I like the "instant publication" that comes with a Word doc or an internet page.
-
Before the computer, a notebook. After the computer, a computer.
My handwriting is so pensive that, at times, I can't even read it. I think it's because I type extremely fast, and that writing is just too slow. It's like when I attempt to type slower, I keep on messing up more often than if I type at my normal speed of 110-120 wpm.
Even when I sign my signature after using one of my credit cards, or something similar, my handwriting is just unreadable. -
I write everywhere - often on napkins or the backs of receipts to later be transferred - I keep notebooks in my house, my truck, my schoolbag.
-
I have a million notebooks and scraps of paper in my room, with lines and poems and doodles all over them. I keep telling myself that one day I will compile the whole lot into a single book (I even know which book I will compile the whole lot into). However it never get's done. I wouldn't trust my family with outting things onto a computer, so I never save my poetry onto a computer. However when I'm online and I get ther urge I tend to come here.
-
One of the reasons I like allpoetry is it is a great place to keep all your poetry together. My computer got stolen recently and yet I've still got my poetry as it is all published here. As to writing I'm old-fashioned - I have a note book and a pen, I seem to write better on the computer but I prefer holding a pen, seems more poetic somehow!

LALULIS
Yah im definitely a pen and paper first kind a girl......and then because im choosey..then I pick which to share with others... -
-
Yeah, I'm like you. I love writing in My personal diary. Where do you write?
-
-
Computer. When I write by hand I write very swiftly (which is OK for inspiration notes; I carry a notepad with me in my handbag) - I find writing slowly on a computer helps me think-as-I-write, reducing the need for editing or redrafting slightly (also, on a computer, you don't have loads of scribbles and tippex showing where you've made mistakes better for the ego).
-
I use the computer to compose most of the time. However, when weather permits, I take a pad and pen to my garden and write. I love the woodsy smell of the fern growing there.
-
My poetry tends to start on a piece of paper, the back of a receipt, a napkin etc. usually when an idea hits me in a random place (I try to keep a piece of paper on me.) After that I usually work it out on paper. Once it is "good enough" it goes into a notebook and is saved on my computer. Every now and then I email my poems to myself so that it is saved on the internet.
I find the computer much less personal. Pretty much the only time I work on a poem on the computer is when I am writing for a contest on this site. -
computer when I'm at home. Notebooks in my bag when I'm out - for catching the thoughts - notebook next to my bed for dream images and thoughts. Scraps of paper when there's nothing else with me. I like the feel of a pen, and watching the words take form, but for longer writing - prose etc - straight onto the computer, stream-of-consciousness, radical editing later. I back-up my files weekly onto a flash stick. Find I edit poems on this site and have to download the changes and file with the original.
-
I have a few old notebooks laying around because that's all I'd write in for the longest time.
Nowadays, I mostly type 'em up on the computer; it's not that I can't read my handwriting, but often, I get more distracted if I try doing it in a notebook. -
-
I'm like that too. Math class is also where I write a lot.
-
-
On the computer for me, but I scribble notes on anything I can find when I'm away from the keyboard. Then I usually transcribe my notes into notepad so I won't loose them.
I was resistant to writing on the computer for far too long...than I got over it
I have scads of notebooks and journals from the "dark ages" ...most of it crap -
everywhere. on napkins, on the back of work invoices, somtimes i will leave myself a voice message if i am driving, but usually it is in a little notebook while relaxing at home or while camping...I even wrote the start of a poem on the back of my fishing licence once while fishing.
-
In Arizona, mostly.

On a toilet in Arizona, I'm betting.

It cuts out several steps that way.

Eh, it's where all the greats write it, lest anyone forget. Plus, it beats the heck out of standing and trying to think of a rhyme for 'urinal cake'.

I write most of my poetry now on my computer but I still carry a little notebook with me wherever I go and write down lines and phrases when I think of them or feel the urge to write.
-
I rarely use the computer as well. I write in several small notebooks or on any scrap of paper I can find when the words come to me.
The computer takes away something for me..... Perhaps the intimacy? -
I write in a diary like book on my lap during commercials while watching tv, probably not the best.
-
Eh. Depends. Most of my stuff is started in a notebook. And then I have to do something else or I don't know how to finish it. By the time I get to come back to it, I am home on the computer so I just type it. I type faster than I write so there is less chance of forgetting something for me.
-
Usually in my room. But I sometimes need a computer in front of me to spark new words, and correct spellin and grammer errors.
-
Usually in my room at night, laying on my bed with a piece of paper or notebook.
-
I have a notebook, but lately most of my writing has been going on the computer, or allpoetry, to be specific. I tend to write mine in the moment then never look at it again.
-
Somtime I write in my poem notebook. but most of the time on my computer. and I transfer it in my notebook and save it on a disk just in case my computer messes up
-
nmostly on the computer, sometimes in a notebook that i bring with me almost everywhere as some things might inspire me
-
to write
-
I usually compose my own original poems in my head, while waiting at bus-stops... Early morning is best, there are few people around, so it does not matter if I dance and sing them....
And I always keep writing materials on my bedside table, in case I dream in verse - as sometimes happens...
My poetry translations however, tend to be done at my desk, or else in a library, since I need easy access to reference books. -
often as a response to a post
-
A pirate-ish notebook from my friend. He knows I prefer hard-cover spiral bounds, so that's what it is. Or, there's always the computer with the built-in thesaurus and spell-check!
-
I've written poetry in libraries, on buses, in a nightclub once, but usually at home as it's more relaxing and I have time to really get to grips with ith then. I jot ideas and inspiration down all thetime though.
-
i don't do this iften, but last week at work i was wicked bored so i wrote a poem.
i work as a cashier at KMart so I just used receipt paper to jot down everything then revised it when I got home. -
I write all the time and everywhere because different things inspire different words.. I write mostly outside though. The world is our words and our words are the world so i figure why not write where it's all happening. And I don't have a lot of things that get in my way of writing what I want when I want
-
I always have a book set aside for my poems but when im in the mood to write i end grabbing whatever i can find--loose sheet of paper,napkin,jeans,my wall(behind a poster)and my computer desk.I rarely write on my computer or in that notebook.
PS:can someone look at my poem and give me your opinion -
I write mostly in school. I do a lot of collabs with my friend Amanda, and at school I feel safer, like no one is going to read over my shoulder and get all shocked if I swear or mention love. Those kinda things are harder to write at home.
-
I write it in my mind first, than in a notebook, than online, where I usually change it a bit.
-
I've written poems on anything from scraps on plane tickets on an overseas trip to computers in my school's library. But my favorite technique so far is transferring from a notebook, of which I have a million, to computer, and then online
