Poll: Do you write your first drafts free hand or with a word-processing program?
While there are many electronic ways to get your thoughts down on paper, including voice-to-text options, does that in any way hamper your creative process? I find that when I am sitting down to write the first draft, I prefer to use paper and a pen. It allows me to be more free with my thoughts than when I use a word-processing program because I am not distracted by auto-correct or trying to get words in the correct format.
Do you write your first drafts free hand or with a word-processing program? Let us know in the poll below and then use the comments section to tell us why one way works better for you!
