Week 2: Pen & Paper vs Electronic Writing

Usually, when I have a writing assignment for school, I prefer to type out every aspect of it(rough drafts, final product). I feel like on paper my thoughts aren't as organized. There aren't any words crossed or scribbled out that distract me when I'm typing on Microsoft Word. Also, my big handwriting takes up a lot of space! So I'm wasting trees writing a paper in pen.
Now when I'm writing out a list or writing the occassional lyric to a song, I prefer to use a notebook and pencil for sure. In those cases I like to cross things out.

What does it say about writing to me?

It really depends on the type of writing you're doing.

  1. Your last sentence sums it up, Allison: the usefulness of each medium depends on the type of writing.
