Oddly, I actually find it easier to at least start writing most of my papers by hand, with a pencil. I've found these really amazing pencils that are larger, so my hand doesn't ever cramp when I'm using them, meaning I can write forever. I was dying on the SAT without them.
When I write on paper, I find myself getting a lot less distracted, and for some reason it's easier for me to have things to say. I don't know why.
I love computers, but I also love just writing on paper. If we start doing everything on the computer, what will happen to all of the lovely doodling that keeps me awake during breaks from note-taking?
