I generally write my first draft in long hand. It was psychological at first...
It told my sibconscious that I was writing a first draft...no need to be
perfect..yet...
I do all my rewrites on a typewriter...yes, I said typewriter...I am one of
the seven people left in the country without a computer at home...
The reason I do them on a typewriter, as opposed to longhand, is that now
longhand subconsciously means rough draft! It worked too well...
