I can certainly understand writing poetry longhand first, perhaps sitting under a tree feeling a spring breeze on your cheeks!Linda Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196966007010708558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-77312219435180811352017-03-01T00:20:45.162-05:002017-03-01T00:20:45.162-05:00I find that when I'm writing prose I use the c...I find that when I'm writing prose I use the computer, especially for first drafts. But for poetry, it is always longhand first. I also find it much more productive to edit/revise prose in longhand too and then transcribe on the computer. Great article, Linda! Lots to think about with my students too! P.

It was from 20 years ago. I was so amazed at the humor in it! That's the kind of thing that can happen when you just write by hand with concerning yourself about grammar or structure or anything else! Journaling at its best!

I've read about the significance of writing longhand a while ago and always want to do it . . . but when I try, my brain is too fast for my writing fingers. I kind of gave up. I know longhand has so many benefits - maybe one of these days I'll give it another try. Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.com
