Why not pen and paper? Because I write more fluently with a keyboard, and when I write fluently I remember more and can write more. That being said, I think the pen is a lost art. I dream of having my manuscripts written in blue ink, stored away in some archive.<br /><br />Ink on paper has always appealed to me, and the preservation of it is fascinating.
