Finishing

Reading for Pleasure: His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman (*****)
Knitting: Legwarmers
Writing: Editing novella

I finished my Candle Flame Shawl, and on from there, I finished a novella rewrite of "The Little Mermaid". I'm happy, so far, with how it turned out. I need to transcribe it from my chicken scratch to the computer, and at that point I will begin my edit.

Which makes me wonder what other writers do. Do you write a hand draft first, or do you write fully on a computer? Or do you use a typewriter? Lynn Viehl, over at Paperback Writer, wrote an interesting post about it last week: http://pbackwriter.blogspot.com/2009/05/typewriter-writer.html. It brings up an interesting point of how the medium affects the message. I do know that sometimes the draft feels like it should be written by hand, but at other times, I feel the urge to write my drafts by computer.

So, thoughts?
