I tend to write on paper, preferably with a black bic biro, then go to the computer. <BR/><BR/>I also use a dictaphone, when I can remember where I last put it down - an old thing with a tiny cassette in.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-81128219738766786752009-01-24T16:11:00.000+00:002009-01-24T16:11:00.000+00:00Hey Dave,thanks fer that,it's a good point ,I know...Hey Dave,thanks fer that,it's a good point ,I know what ye mean.Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-83611966070258124052009-01-23T12:16:00.000+00:002009-01-23T12:16:00.000+00:00I guess I write to find out what I think.I guess I write to find out what I think.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-39012398850242224422009-01-23T11:05:00.000+00:002009-01-23T11:05:00.000+00:00Thanks Barbara, Nuala, Jeanne, Liz a fascinating i...Thanks Barbara, Nuala, Jeanne, Liz a fascinating insight into the world of writers, well done.Yes B, it's definitely writin we're talkin bout, but no special nest fer your writin?

I write because something burns inside, and I simply must release it or else my contribution to global warming would fill me with much guilt, which would then lead to more combustion, leading to an even greater threat to this planet for which our purpose as the human species is to provide sound stewardship.

Okay, why not... <BR/>I do my best writing with an organic pencil, lying in bed, sans apparel, with books, journals and other research nearby. However, presently, I am wrapped in a woolen coat like a bear in hibernation, at the computer in my freezing office. ;-)Dr. Jeanne Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277286531162894465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-90595640847372867812009-01-22T15:34:00.000+00:002009-01-22T15:34:00.000+00:00I have a desk in my study, but like Babs, I can wr...I have a desk in my study, but like Babs, I can write anywhere.<BR/>I work in the morning when my 2 kids are at school, so I'm at the desk by 9am and have until 1pm, uninterrupted.<BR/>I can also work in the avo when the TV occupies the youngest. Or his friend.<BR/>I keep a tiny notebook with me at all times and I jot down anything of interest in that (a name I like, a possible story title, a sentence that occurs to me, interesting words, various observations etc etc).<BR/>I make a list of these snippets on my lapper, and consult it when stuck, or alternatively the snippet becomes a poem or story beginning straight away.<BR/><BR/>As for why I write, because I'm compelled to, I love it, and it keeps me semi-sane.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-26611904345189867702009-01-22T14:02:00.000+00:002009-01-22T14:02:00.000+00:00On the hoof, TFE; I write in a journal that I keep...On the hoof, TFE; I write in a journal that I keep near me, in the handbag, or in a few A4 journals upstairs. Then if it's working I go to the lappie and type it in... In my house it's a anywhere, anytime, any place scenario as there's no room for me to call mine. So it could be in the dining room, the bedroom, the sitting room... or even on the beach, if I'm out... this is writing we're talking about, right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.com
