Yet to be mentioned here is writing with pen and paper... Anybody still do that? If so, what's your approach?
When writing an essay, I often start with pen and paper. Mostly, an outline, and sometimes also the introductory couple of paragraphs. But I switch to a word processor when the bulk of the words start flowing.
- dmd 2y agoIn my entire life I have never been able to write more than about 50 words in a row without extreme pain.
- dsubburam 2y agoI re-learnt how to write as an adult, after a hand injury, using this handwriting manual from the ~1920s[1]. Shows positions for holding your hand, arm, etc. as well as exercises for practicing the various strokes involved (for English). [1] https://thepalmermethod.com/ https://thepalmermethod.com/
