I had a method for years. Start on the computer. Print it out. Read
and correct on paper. Input the changes. Repeat process. Cook at 350
until done. And so forth.
Today? I can't write on paper anymore. I am obsessed with my terrible
handwriting. For a person with a fair collection of expensive pens I
almost never use them. I think faster at a keyboard. I visualiz better
onscreen. This is great for snaps but I suspect it has had a
deleterious effect on my work in general and on my ability to think
meditatively about what I'm doing. I suppose I will get some sort of
"message" about when to go back to the notebook I carry with me
everywhere anyway.
