Although my wonky laptop sometimes decides it wants to close what it wants to close. However, I prefer to write with nothing but the glow of the screen. I like how my words stand out with the lack of light. Also, my eyes are very strong, so I think it helps not to have to many lights. One of my other quirks is that I prefer to be completely isolated when I write. If I'm not, then I completely shut everybody else out, and then minimize my work when I'm ready to return to them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748695280619099640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288075.post-23465414940249455412013-04-18T13:14:29.576-04:002013-04-18T13:14:29.576-04:00Aaaah ... handwriting it all would kill me.

Multiple times.<br /><br />Conversely, Nyki, if I don't start with a title, I either never find one or can't stand the one I do find. :-)<br /><br />I wonder if anyone actually writes in SMF. It's a good layout for editing (though I don't like it for reading), but it doesn't strike as an easy layout for writing.<br /><br />Cool to hear from both of you!Lindsey Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544943749349803429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288075.post-73449453987951802292013-04-18T12:03:18.012-04:002013-04-18T12:03:18.012-04:00I'm not sure I have that many tics, though I d...I'm not sure I have that many tics, though I do agree about liking plenty of light. I always write in Arial, and in a completely different layout from SMF, so have to reformat the whole thing. I can see it better that way.<br /><br />If I didn't start writing till I had a title, I'd never write anything. The title's quite often the very last thing I write (including revision).Nyki Blatchleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707481035530963855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288075.post-22164944299627188782013-04-18T10:57:52.100-04:002013-04-18T10:57:52.100-04:00I must write in chronological order.

The biggest quirk of all, though is that I. It's write it all out by hand. Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445455787485222068noreply@blogger.com
