December Daily: longhand

isis and clevermanka and trobadora - longhand?!

When I mentioned that I compose all my stories in longhand, that got a lot of surprised responses.

I don't really understand why I have so much trouble composing fiction onscreen. I can write a blog entry onscreen. At work a good chunk of my job is writing legal documents onscreen and i have no difficulty with that. (Though suddenly it occurs to me that if I know I'm going to be writing for the next chunk of time, I'll often listen to an ASMR video or a "rainy cafe noise" soundtrack, even if I'm at home with no distractions; wonder if that's related?)

I think one of my difficulties is that words on a screen look so finished. It's inhibiting.
