Comments on: Writing Longhand versus Typing http://colubridlady.com/2008/05/writing-longhand-versus-typing/ Of a Mother and Genealogy Enthusiast Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:12:00 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Michelle http://colubridlady.com/2008/05/writing-longhand-versus-typing/comment-page-1/#comment-91 Michelle Mon, 26 May 2008 01:22:09 +0000 http://colubridlady.com/?p=33#comment-91 My line of work is a bit different than yours, but I come into contact with scads of writers because of it, and while many of them (and I, too) prefer writing on a computer because it can be easier to edit and fill in those details that you find easier to write out by hand, it's interesting that there's a definite segment of the population who finds it easier to fill in those details by writing in longhand. I personally write longhand very, very slowly, but I type very quickly, and I think too quickly for me to adequately write out, in longhand, everything and all the details I want to include in my writing. (And with all the writing I need to do for school, anyway, during the year I simply don't have the time to write everything longhand.)
