Go to with the triple screens, mang. Jelly. Even a double screen set-up at my place would make some of this lit journal stuff that much easier.

My brother uses an old manual typewriter for his creative writing and he's said it really changes the way he writes. You can't just delete shit. He says he thinks about what he writes a lot more before he actually puts it down. I showed him this post but he hasn't commented; if he does I'll share because I think he has a less-usual perspective. Of course, it's gotta also be personal attitude: you can't just delete shit you write down on paper, but it doesn't hurt me to cross nearly entire pages out. I suppose with time my brother might find x-ing through his typewritings to have less significance. You know, like shock, or heroin.

This is my brain being stuck.

I go between laptop and pen-and-paper. Never pencil. I loathe pencils. Lined paper, always. Have been known to ask waitstaff if I can have the pen they gave me to sign the receipt with when said pen is particularly nice. You know, all that good writerly-obsessive stuff. Used to do a lot more writing with colored ink/pens. Can be fun, can be far too fiddly.

I hadn't considered before now how much I enjoy just the physical act of writing.
