I've began writing the beginning to a few fics, but I've never finished them. But I always have to write on paper first and then type them on the computer.
My question is, do you first write your fics with pen and paper, or do you just write them on the computer?

Well I usually write my fics on the computer. I prefer typing. But if I suddenly get an idea I will write it down. And sometimes when I am thinking of a story I will write down a whole bunch of ideas. So I guess I type my stories on the computer (I only write them down if I'm in school or something) but I write down all my ideas first. Did that make any sense?  |

I do both.
Sometimes I get an I dea and I'm already at the Computer, so I just use it.
Other times, when I'm not at the comp., or I don't feel like typing, I just write it down.
The good thing about writing it down on paper, tho, is if you loose your disc, or something gets deleted by mistake, or if you forgot to save, you always have the fic on paper.
Well, that's my insight on it,

Usually, I write my fics on the computer. But it's happened for many times, that I just really wanted to write it with pencile and paper (Pen?! I will never even consider it. It's not that I erase so much (though it's weird), it's just that... well, *conciders actually writing it* it's so much prettier that way! I mean, all clean, and nice, and... Okay, silghtly off-topic ;D. Oh, I write a lot when I'm in school (who needs Arabic anyway, I say), and then it's always with pencil and paper. Besides when we're in computer class... I'm typing it (that way it looks like I'm doing what the teacher tells us to, lol  ), then I'm sending it to my e-mail. Bah. That came out way too long. -Miclol  |

Hmm...it's a tough decision for me, actually. Mostly, if I'm blocked on a story, I'll print up what I've got and then try and write it by hand. I don't know...I get more creative when I do this, I guess (though it's also that I can't bring my laptop with me to school). Mostly, if I can't get on the computer, I don't hesitate to write on paper. But I always use pen, making my papers a real mess of scribbles after a while...
Oh well. That's my take on it.

I don't know, it's just that whenever I write something, even essays for school, I always have to write them with pencil and paper first. I don't know, I just get more ideas flowing that way for me. Once I start writing, I don't stop for awhile. ;D
Then I transfer the writing to the computer and make the changes I want, or add stuff.

i agree i always write on paper first and then when i put it on the computer i am forced to look over it again, which helps me catch more of my mistakes

I always begin on paper...I write infront of the tv or with the stereo on..Music is my inspiration...But then I continue on my computer with the stereo on..As I said music gets me going..Especially these days David Gray's music..With songs like "This years love" and "The other side"...
