Personally, I'd say I have a pretty decent amount of experience writing electronically. I've done a lot of blogging in the past, and am currently writing a blog for TheBurr.com. I'm also constantly texting and e-mailing like every other Kent State student.
Overall I'd say my writing changes substantially when writing electronically as compared to writing with pen and paper. When I write a blog for instance, I can simply spit out whatever thoughts are on mind and then simply go back, move something to another place, make grammatical corrections, and edit anything else that needs to be fixed all in a matter of a few minutes, maybe even seconds. When I write with pen and paper on the other hand, I take a lot longer to write something because I need to pause and make sure every sentence says exactly what I want it to, and also to make sure I'm not making any other mistakes along the way. Obviously for the reasons previously explained, I enjoy writing electronically much more, and seldom write with pen and paper.
Ah - actual blogging experience. Good to see.
ReplyDeleteThe reasons for writing w/ pen and paper are becoming fewer all the time...
