I'm convinced that writing longhand will save my eyes a lot of trouble (staring at the screen for long periods of time = bad idea), but after attempting that continuously I've noticed that there's the on-going problem with me working out the story while writing then forgetting things by the time I got to writing them. My writing speed by hand does not match my thought process speed. And my cursive is crabbed enough as it is and there's no way I can speed THAT up. Consequently, over the past few weeks, I think I'm learning to write out entire (short! of course) stories in my head, which is slightly unnerving because I can visualize each word exactly and then go back and almost edit them...sort of memory commitment before I DO write them down on paper, then get them (eventually) into the computer.
It doesn't do alot for making me sleep at night, and it doesn't work well when I'm stressed but I can say this--if I DO manage to get this skill down perfectly I'll be saving a LOT of paper in the future.
We Davis folks are very environment-friendly. We also recycle and have rabbits the size of small cats. (Grande!)
All's quiet on the western front. The approaching silence signifies the approaching midterm, coming soon to a campus near you.
(No I don't know why I sound this way right now either.)

Friended by Susan Zhang from Canada.... This is a very strange experience for me.
