I’m writing my story by hand. Which feels very retro in this high-tech world but I’m liking it. True, I’ve only written for two days but that’s two days in a row which I haven’t done since November.

I find it’s easier to avoid editing my writing as I go. I can just let the words come out, scratch out the ones I don’t want, make notes in the margins and keep with the flow.

Even typing up this post, I keep stopping every time I hit a suggestion or a misspelling or a grammar mistake. Yes, I could turn off all of that if I wanted to and took the time to figure out how to do it.

There is science suggesting that writing by hand stimulates different parts of the brain as compared to typing. I feel like this is true, but it’s an experiment of one at the moment.

If it works and it ain’t hurting anyone or breaking any laws, then do it.
