L.E.Gant , you are right about storing info. I just did that with all of the info and notes I gathered today. It is good for editing of course. On the other hand I think at the speed that I type which is faster than the speed that I write by hand.

The computer is not really an aid to writing. But it does demand that we (as writers) concentrate on a much more limited vocabulary, and use that subset of the language better than ever before. One good thing about writing on computers - you can store all the bits you don't like for a while without building up box-loads of paper (I'm still digging through stuff written in the 50's, 60's and 70's - from the 80's on, it's been stored on diskette (so next task: move a few hundred FULL diskettes to DVD...))

Love starbucks - too bad I don't have the bucks for it!
Douglas Adams once said that with the advent of computers he could write a LOT more - he never said if it was better though.
