 I see how much writing I can do per Starbucks drink. Why does caffeine make me want to write? It is so much more reliable than waiting on regular inspiration. Just now I wrote by hand the scene from freaking Chapter One that I haven't been able to write for like, two and a half years.

Starbucks in magical, y'all, and it cures all ails.

Do you guys write by hand at all, or always straight onto the computer? I told a friend the other day that I often feel more comfortable coming up with ideas, the more pure creativity aspect, and world building and plot arc planning etc etc, by hand on to paper, into various notebooks, and she seemed genuinely surprised that I don't just always go straight for the word doc. Obviously, there is plenty that does go straight from head to computer, and fic especially, I basically always feel uncomfortable writing fic by hand now, although I used to do that rather a lot lol. But yeah. Notebooks ftw.

I like to jot things down by hand when I first get an idea, just to brainstorm plot/characters etc, but then I generally write straight into the computer when I get to the actual fic. I have written out a few scenes by hand though, when I've either been computerless or needed to work something out a little more manually.

OMG enjoy HP!!!!!!!! It is amazing XD (but also super sad because it is THE END ;___;)

I loved HP, it was epic and brilliant and super sad and sweet and funny and awesome all at once. I can't wait to see it again lol!

I rather suspect that your idea of jotting down brainstorming is similar to my planning in nature, but *stares at pile of finished notebooks full of nothing but intricate planning and in depth discussion of the pain of characters that hardly even show up* perhaps not to quite the same extent...?
