Message	mostly on the computer. just because its easier. but i have a moleskine that i use when not near my computer. i come up with and forget a million poems a day in my car because i cant write any of the lines down while driving and often forget them.

Message	I used to use my computer a lot, but when I hit a writing block, I stopped writing. The next time I wrote seriously was with a pen. I never wrote quite like that time before, so I began to use pens to write. I have to say, the result is much better.

Message	Always keep a notebook close by to jot down anything that comes to mind. Just don’t use your nostrils as placeholders.

Message	I write where ever I be, with whichever means necessary to get my thoughts out. What’s peculiar is that, unless the piece is a game (i.e. a pun within a pun respecting metering and rhymes) I’ll never spend more than 5~10 minutes on it. I won’t give it a second look. Silence changes nothing - besides maybe making me take myself less seriously.

Message	I prefer to use my laptop over writing by hand, much faster. 95% of the writing I do is on my beloved laptop and I do take care to back up frequently so if anything happens [crosses fingers it doesn’t] I won’t lose a thing I also always write in my room, sign on door not to disturb and the door locked. I don’t write with music or the TV on. Writing with absolute silence really tunes you into those inner thoughts you could never hear before.

Message	Most usually I start typing on my computer, I guess, as far as prose goes. For poetry, sometimes I’ll get up at three or four in the morning and turn on a light and start jotting down on paper. I’ll discontinue my school notes halfway through a class to start writing poems or stories, so you often find them blended into my Latin or English notes. I’m also a lefty, though, so it does get kind of sloppy.

Message	Usually I write a long song with no vocals and then record it and write my poems to the vocal lines I have going in my head... it’s weird... If you want to check out the end result, the last 10 or so poems I’ve written were written like that.

Message	I usualy sit in class and write when I’m bored. Then I type it up at home and edit it. And I’m usualy listening to music at that point.

Message	You might call me a little weird. My forsaken pencil and notebook serve as the hard copy for every poem I write. It’s always paper first. I think nobody except me would be able to read it, there’s so much cancellation and edits everywhere. Then when everything’s been ironed out, it goes into the laptop. And after that, the hard copy is destroyed (don’t worry I recycle), so it only exists in the laptop, which is locked with dozens of passwords. Oh no, you’re not plagiarising MY work.

Message	I use a good old fashioned notebook. I find when I use a computer to write poetry the ideas don’t get time to develop and I’m left with mostly garbage, plus, I like to keep the original ideas at least in tact when I write, so I save my scribbles, even the bad ones. On a computer it’s too easy just to erase the lines, and therefore destroying a beautiful idea (even if you didn’t like it at the time, the idea of ideas is still beautiful)

Message	I have a notebook for when I’m not home and a laptop when I am... but I prefer my laptop-- editing on the fly etc, without annoying scribbles and hard to read words/phrases etc etc.

Message	I choose to use my laptop more than paper. It seems easier and faster. Also if I change my mind with my choice of words its a lot easier just to delete words than to have to have an eraser.

Message	im the same, but right handed. i type fast but my handwriting is impaired. so i use my laptop for almost everything i do. also its easier to edit and wipe if u need to destroy evidence - no messy bedroom fires :)

Message	Well,I prefer working on a computer because I’m rather lazy when it comes to writing out twenty or so chapters by hand,I think that’s reasonable to say.Plus,when I’m doing my final drafts,I always do them in ink and like you,I’m a lefty,and we all know what happens when you write in ink,smudge city.For random stories or ones that I know will be revised eventually,I just write them out in .5 lead either in my notebook or on loose leaf,college ruled.After a while of taking notes on the back of my pictures,it starts to turn in to a blob of sloppy cursive,no clue why I only write in cursive for notes though.That’s the point where I attempt to translate them from gibberish to english and start typing them out on the desktop,usually get about eighty percent of them in there.Half of them are irrelevant ramblings anyways so no big deal there.I need to get my own computer shortly because I had been typing all my stories out on the desktop for quite a few years now and when I went to work on Bantilou,I find out that my entire account had been deleted off the computer because I wasn’t using it often enough.I definitely don’t want that happening again,plus I’m going to be moving out this year so I can’t take any of my writings from that computer with me.Even if I have a cd,it’s no use without a computer to put it in.Anywho,thanks for letting me ramble your ears off.

Message	It just depends on where I’m at, I always carry a notebook with me, mostly I write on the PC but sometimes I write it out longhand, but nobody else would be able to read my longhand so I transfer it to the puter when I get home
