< Ask the Midnight: What are you up to?
Do you usually handwrite your novels? I know some people swear by it, but I've never personally found any personal benefit over digital typing. I did journal for an hour and change almost every day a few years ago, but that was mostly an excuse to use my fountain pens :P
No, I usually type them out in Emacs. This is the first time I'm outlining and drafting one by hand. Once I get my typewriter back, this will be my workflow:
1. hand-write a chapter in my notebook
2. type it up with my typewriter
3. wait for my wife to take a red pen to it
4. type it up in Emacs with corrections
I'm also thinking of photographing hand-written and typed pages and putting them on my website.
