Wow, Michelle – this must be a really exciting (and rather emotional, I suspect) time for you. I’m with you on this I must say – it’s got to be a bit of both, hasn’t it.? Surely that’s the only way of truly staying in touch with those feelings as you write, and I wish you all the best with your brilliant challenge! Who cares if it takes a little extra time to complete…

I am writing my first Memoir at age 54. I’m torn between journalling by hand and typing. It seems more work to have to transfer all of my writings into the computer though I love the tactile Ness of pen to paper. Any thoughts on doing a bit of both?

Hi Carol – there’s nothing quite like it is there! There are times whern a keyboard just won’t cut it. Thanks for your comment, Gemma

I hand wrote my entire first novel, PEACE BY PIECE, and hired a typist. Now, I more frequently write at the computer, but still often grab a pencil and paper to capture early drafts. There’s something about connecting my brain and paper that way that can really get the juices flowing.
