I use two methods to write. It used to be three, but I could no longer find ribbons for my typewriter. I used to compose poetry on a typewriter, because I believe that it is important to see the whole page when composing poetry. You cannot do that very well on a computer screen. I often begin with pen on paper. It has to be a black, extra fine point pen, no gel ink. I write on an 8.5x11 sheet folded in three and write sideways on each fold. By the time I'm done I have about 250-300 words on each section. This enables me to work on six different prompts and I can carry it in my pocket. Then I go to the computer and type it all in, editing while I'm typing.
Pen, pencil, fountain pen, laptop, tablet…what is your preferred method
of writing and why?
