FRIDAY FACE-OFF: Paper VS Digital?

Since it’s NaNoWriMo right now and some of you may be knee deep in words and drafts and too many edits, we thought we would ask a VERY important bookish question…

Which writing medium do you prefer?

PAPER or DIGITAL?

FOR PAPER
  • Naomi says: Since I am VERY OLD (compared to all of you) I must advocate for pen and paper. I don’t know whether it’s because I had to write all my GCSE coursework by hand, but somehow my brain still just connects more easily with a pen than a keyboard. (But OK, I acknowledge that once you get past the draft stage a computer is better.) Also… wild card entry… there’s something to be said for iPhone Notes when drafting your initial thoughts.
  • Emily says: Paper and pen for me. I mean, I’m very okay with looking like a hipster with my moleskine!
FOR DIGITAL
  • Tash: I choose DIGITAL as that way I can type as quickly as my thoughts. Plus you look all suave and sophisticated and cool if you’re ever writing in a coffee shop!

 

And because reigning champ Chloe can’t decide, she says: A mix of both (controversial oh la la) as I love making messy notes and getting all of my ideas down and planning with pen and paper but then working on a digital document. Bonus points for endless coffee, pastries, plugging in the headphones, music on and working somewhere restful and inspiring to get writing!
