Some transcript their handwritten first thoughts to a typwewriter, then edit on hard copy before transcribing it to computer. The blood to the hand, the rhythm of the typewriter, the clarity of the computer - all lend a hand to the finished work. I vary so much I can't describe any of it as a habit!
