I hadn't thought about it until I read your post... but at some point with a heavier writer, I do need to print it out and take the pen to it. Something about scrawling notes in your margins?? I see things that I haven't seen before that on the screen. And the act itself, ritualistic almost... there's a tangibleness to it.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to say, you rock! Like Keith Richards rocks... except, I can understand what you're saying! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
