Yes, there is something ...Brilliant - the Kindle. <br /><br />Yes, there is something very different in the mind about "final appearance" reading to make things jump out. Brilliant sending it to the Kindle.<br /><br />Thanks, Susan! (and I'm glad I'm not alone in the notebook and longhand club these days!).jack wellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666545887771905191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671719323266887561.post-58042166514556274542013-03-17T22:49:52.522-04:002013-03-17T22:49:52.522-04:00I've always been able to "think" bet...I've always been able to "think" better when writing that first draft in longhand. Lots of writing and rewriting as I go, and then type it and edit again. And again. Ad nauseum. I can do some rewrites on the computer, but for that first creative surge of the first draft, only a pen and notebook will do.<br /><br />If you have a Kindle, I've also found that once I think a piece is "done", I send it to my Kindle to read it there. It provides a whole new perspective.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671719323266887561.post-15776667045310591852013-03-17T20:12:41.072-04:002013-03-17T20:12:41.072-04:00Thanks Nigel.

It seems to work to catch those line edits that are often invisible in the author's eye on a quick read.<br /><br />jack wellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666545887771905191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671719323266887561.post-85300049702252711632013-03-17T18:43:46.493-04:002013-03-17T18:43:46.493-04:00I have to admit, I've never really been able t...I have to admit, I've never really been able to write effectively longhand. It's faster for me and easier to type it out - my hand is too slow for my brain. But I do think longhand forces you to think about what you're writing rather than dashing it out. And I like your perspective that re-typing it amounts to editing it. Maybe I'll try it.Nigel G Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587936933402372050noreply@blogger.com
