I don't know who else still writes longhand at times, but I highly recommend the activity, especially at the start of a new project, when you're trying to figure out overall framing & find your voice.

(@LnzyHou: if you're finding it hard to write, maybe try a change of locale and pen & paper to jog your thoughts!)

@MLClark @LnzyHou I read that Neil Gaiman writes his first drafts longhand. Apparently, he's a real geek for high quality fountain pens.

@MLClark @LnzyHou I can't work for long by hand. Arthritis. Been that way for nearly 20 years, side-effect of having severe eczema on my hands as a kid.
