Hi, Samantha. I use a combination of paper and computer. I don't hand write my content prior to typing it. When I'm working in Wordpress, I rough out my outline, leaving space for the content in each section.
As I'm reading people's posts or training, I jot down info that I want to save and transfer it to my Penzu journal for safekeeping. This helps keep the clutter of bits of paper off of my desk as well. Hope this helps. Carol

It's amazing how it's so easy to think what you want to write, until you try to put on paper??? (Go figure)

I think a combination is best. Use whatever is closest to hand when you need to take a note and or do some work. Once you get used to it one of the methods should present itself as the best for you.

I am not using any paper-based documents for years now. Everything is done on computer. there are tools which can keep your versions (if you need).

My handwriting is horrible, so I type whenever possible. I try to scratch things out so fast that I often can't even read my own hand writing. I am a typer first.

I tend to do everything on the computer because my handwriting really is hard for even me to read.

Hi Samantha!

Great question!! Personally, for a long time, I was strictly a "paper and pencil" man. Computers were too unstable, and I lost a lot of work when they would just shut off before I got to save my work. Speaking of saving work, saving my work to a 3 1/2 inch floppy proved disastrous when I took my book to a local store to get it printed. (back before everyone had a printer in their home) I gave the clerk my disk and waited for him to return with it and my printed manuscript. Instead he returned with the disk and an apology that the program he had wasn't compatible with my program and the entire book was corrupted. All I got back was wingdings!! I didn't have a computer of my own, and so this was the only copy of my book - GONE!!

However, things today are far more user friendly and you can save your work online either in the "cloud" or, my favorite, I email my work to myself for future retrieval should something happen. Once completed, I print a hard copy of EVERYTHING for safe keeping!!

So, writing on your computer is a good option today. It also saves time because you can simply "copy & paste" your work from one document to another for editing. As for which to mobile device to use . . . I still sit down at my PC to work, but my wife, who is far more mobile than I, uses Samsung and an Apple Air tablets because she can download Microsoft Word onto them. There are other programs, but Microsoft Word is still the most common program and it is easy to use. Keep in mind that there are times when transferring your text can be a little "glitchy". But, like my daddy used to say, everything has its problems: you just have to find one with problems that you can deal with.

Happy writing!!

Always! I have paper next to my laptop, next to my bed, in my jacket pocket, I need to write ideas down right away

Since I travel a lot, I use my iPad with wifi and cellular for much of my work.
I write up ideas in a mind mapping app where I connect my own thoughts and ideas with relevant online sources for further investigation.
When I am back at my computer, I can pick up where I left, since the app works across devices.

Quick notes and to-do lists are made in Todoist on iPad or computer.

Then I write the drafts in a Word document that is stored on OneDrive so that I can work on the text across devices. Sometimes I publish through SiteContent, sometimes I don't.

I don't use paper to write out ideas, but I always have a notebook beside m computer to take quick notes as I work.

I had a problem importing a word document into the WA editor. Some words were duped. It has to be put in Paint first to do the translation. Haven't tried it in awhile.
