Not bony or a long hand, but writing in long hand.  Just in case anyone
mistakens what this posting is about.  I wanted to find out how many of
you good people in netland write in long hand?  I tried writing everthing
out first, but found that once I transcribed the story onto the computer
the story took a different shape and meaning.  Words seemed to change
as I typed and their meaning differed from what I originally intended.

At the time, I thought that there was something unique about writing
stories in long hand first.  Now, I'm not so sure that there isn't a
kind of mystic enchantment that flows through my hand and creates a
purposeful story.  One that seems to be less flawed.  With a clarity
and purpose that I found interesting and yet, I can't seem to bring
the exact writing over to my computer.

Has anyone else experienced this when they attempt to write a story
in long hand first?


Jon - There was a time when I could spell words in my head, but that
      was before I learned to spell.
