What an insight--I never thought of it that way.<br /><br />Someday, I'll have the guts to start (and hopefully) finish a novel. A few ideas kicking, but nothing down and dirty yet.<br /><br />You are an inspiration. I would love to sit down with you someday and discuss the craft of writing.pegjethttp://pegjet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135818393583916959.post-36183769603215057232011-03-21T20:48:13.230-04:002011-03-21T20:48:13.230-04:00My hands get shaky too, if I go too long away from...<i>My hands get shaky too, if I go too long away from a notebook or the back of a napkin.

For me, it's all about killing trees and writing/re-writing/and re-writing again before I commit to putting it on the laptop, and even then I still print and edit off a hard copy.... conservationists hate me.Kevin Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00703125974467675009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135818393583916959.post-23281918417908856132011-03-21T00:29:48.915-04:002011-03-21T00:29:48.915-04:00Kevin, your mind blows concise and far-reaching in...<b>Kevin, your mind blows concise and far-reaching in all the same gusts.</b> A reader can sense the phenomenal care and fire you put into your style, your thought processes on-the-flow, your characters and where you watch them go.<br /><br />SAME TOO . . . the way you interview.

There are some good insights into your approach to writing there.<br /><br />I was reading recently that writing by hand engages different parts of the brain than does writing on a keyboard. My preferred method of coming up with a first draft is also to write by hand. I do a quick first edit as I key in the text, then ideally do my first full read through and make my next set of changes on a hard copy. <br /><br />I can work solely on screen if I have to, of course, but I wonder what approach other writers take?Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581854897484618741noreply@blogger.com
