Do you think handwriting writers are better prose stylists than typing writers?

well they're welcome to never get any work done, but keyboards are way faster at typing. although, taking more time to write may be valuable, as to really think out the nuances of writing. I'm partial to keyboards, but my sister perfers a pen as when she transfers the handwritten story to google docs, she has to read it to type it, which offers more time to edit and rethink. Maybe I should actually Write more instead of typing.

Why do you think? Do you feel your brain working in the same way in different platforms?

no, i feel that having either is a useful tool to change the way i write. versatility is a wonderful thing. i find that if i type, i think quickly, make more errors, but find an easier flow. i find that if i use a pen, i am more deliberate, interesting, and use a broader vocabulary, and am more apt to make mistakes that are interesting mentally, rather than just simple speed mistakes in grammar.

Writers who focus on writing are better prose stylists, not memers who get distracted by the methods.

Yes it's the Tao of Writing: hesitating and cautious like someone walking over thin ice in the winter. It's the woke way: whether you use a pen, a pencil or a brush.
