If you work exclusively digitally, could you work by hand? (Or vice-versa!)

I probably could work by hand, but it would be a much slower process. My admiration for writers who produced great literature without the benefits of digital technology is endless.

If you work exclusively digitally, could you work by hand? (Or vice-versa!)

I mainly work digitally. However, my dream is to write a book entirely by hand. Perhaps I’ll give it a go in the future, but at the moment my working method is still too chaotic to manage the necessary adjustments (corrections, revisions, moving chapters around, etc.) in a way that works on paper.

Once again, this is why Barker is my (non-fiction) spirit writer.

#WritersCoffeeClub May 17: If you work exclusively digitally, could you work by hand?

I *could*, but it would change the nature of the writing. The ability to go back and forth at a click, to edit inside a draft, to rearrange sections at will, etc. All of that changes what you produce.

She would coo and squeal protect it with her entire being. NOTHING will harm that kitten.

#WordWeavers May 17: How would your MC react to being handed a kitten?

Lysandra would squee and hug it and kiss it and call it George...

No, not that last part.

#WritersCoffeeClub May 17: If you work exclusively digitally, could you work by hand? (_Or vice-versa!_)

I COULD, but why would I want to write things out by hand then have to type them all in again? No one is going to accept a hand-written manuscript.
