I had to vote keyboard because that is what I am using for the second draft of my novel, but for most other things, I use a pencil and looseleaf paper that I keep contained on a big clipboard I carry everywhere.
However, I can't wait for a laptop so that I can carry that everywhere instead. But I do think that nothing will ever completely erase the pleasure of watching words pour out from under your fingers as you hold nothing but a stick and a piece of chewed up paper. It's amazing the stuff you can create. That is a kind of satisfaction that nothing else can overshadow.

| I normally take my journal with me everywhere, and then when I get home, I get on my laptop and update my story on there as well. |

| Hmm. If I'm doing a draft story/poem/writing, I use a pen and a paper. Then I would edit it and type it on the computer. |

I HAVE to use a keyboard. Writing by hand is so slow. Besides, I get lazy by hand. I end up ditching entire scenes, and not expanding on anything. (The reviewers on here would have a field day.) Besides, something that takes one hour to handwrite would take about ten minutes to type for me.
I even do planning on the computer. I can add and delete thing so much easier! All hail the enter/delete key!

I usually have my official Writing Folder (it gets caps because of this. I declare it.) with me, and that's where I keep a lot of my writing. For some odd reason, when I'm on the computer words just don't flow. Though I do use the computer for some things.
JFW1415- The delete key seems to be my enemy, I tend to rewrite entire scenes over and over for hours, so after an hour, I only have a sentence. All hail the pen/pencil and paper! (though I do plan sometimes on the computer) |

I find it a lot easier to write with a pencil in my hand. I like to write outside, or in a quiet place. It really helps get rid of distractions. Usually when I try to type on the computer, I get distracted clicking on random links.  |

Same here. I LOVE writing outside, and I get distracted easily. [url]darkcopy.com[/url] helps with the distractions, and I open windows. I just can't seem to write by hand for the life of me.
I need to get a laptop with no Internet and type outside.

| it all depends. whenever I write with a pen or pencil, it always turns into some huge fantasy. when I type Is usually realistic fiction or a smaller type of fantasy, like no magic horses and fairy godmothers and stuff like that |
