Electronic VS Pen Writing

When it comes down to writing, the differences between tackling your need to write with a piece of paper and pen, is different than speeding down the road with a keyboard. The differences in the ways of your writing, however, are different in comparison to each other; some people can do better on a computer, while others do better with a pen.

Paper and pen: the tools we've use the most in school. You can write crazy without any boundaries. You can scratch out words, draw little designs on the side when you get bored, add in words, rip it apart, anything. The only downside is the time consuming process of doing this. Some may not mind it, but for me, I honestly don't want to re-write a page to two pages of work for a draft unless it's required.

On a computer, however, you can perhaps go a lot faster with typing your words. Sometimes, for me, I feel most comfortable with typing on computer, because it helps me literally write down what's in my head quickly, since I'm not too bad of a speedtyper when I need it. On the other hand, it loses that 'feel' of writing, the natural hard work, the relaxation of creating something.


So, as you can see, there are differences between using the computer, and using paper and pen. Each one of these mediums has its advantages and disadvantages. Everybody's strengths and weakness in writing lays between one or the other.
