It has been a long time since I wrote this many paragraphs manually, I am definitely more accustomed to typing.\u00a0 The writing itself wasn\u2019t too difficult, although there was some concern that my hand might get tired.\u00a0 Since I picked a topic that I have been thinking about recently, it was easy to come up with enough thoughts to fill the pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more challenging aspect of the task for me was the editing.\u00a0 When I write on a computer, I tend to edit and adjust as I go along.\u00a0 I\u2019ve already reworded the previous sentence a few times, and it may be reworked again by the time I submit this.\u00a0 During the task, when I made a mistake or wanted to adjust a word, my only option was to cross out words and write in the new ones.\u00a0 This limited the amount of editing that I did.\u00a0 I had considered double-spacing, but realized that would produce 6 notebook pages of writing and felt that would be too much.\u00a0 Double-spacing in the notebook would have provided more space for editing and may have enabled me to move words around a bit more, but the appearance of the finished story would have been less easy to read.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To me the most significant difference between writing by hand and using a computer is the forethought that is required.\u00a0 When writing on a computer, it is simple to move ideas around, adjust paragraphs, and then move them back again.\u00a0 With handwriting, there is more time and effort required to move around and play with the wording and style.\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that one method is superior.\u00a0 It could be said that the simplicity of editing computer documents makes me more complacent about the planning and outline.\u00a0 Perhaps the preparation that goes into a quality handwritten text can produce a more thoughtful piece of work.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
