Just a fun little article arguing for doing one’s creative writing the old fashioned way – with paper and pen.

I do like to write long hand. Though I probably also qualify as one of the notebook fetishists mentioned. I have a large collection of notebooks and I almost exclusively write in them with a fountain pen (which is currently giving me trouble; I would have expected such an expensive pen [I don’t skimp when it comes to this particular fetish] to not be leaking after only a year).

Despite the article’s title, Why creative writing is better with a pen, it’s not really an empirical argument so much as subjective bit of nostalgia.

This article, Take Care of Your Little Notebook, makes a similar point.
