Yes! Me! I write many things that never even approach the keyboard.

When I took creative writing, the professor claimed it was better to write everything by hand because on paper you don't use as many unnecessary words. You just write what you think rather than what looks pretty on the screen. I don't know if I agree because I feel that typing helps me correct mistakes and rethink my sentences, but I can understand his point. I definitely have a problem with my writing being too convoluted and not getting to the point immediately. When I write on paper, I'm less inclined to include lengthy details that are only clutter.

I think the reasoning behind this is true, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's always-applicable advice. Longhand doesn't allow for the same degree of self-editing, but if one struggles with actually getting the words onto the page, then it's probably a good thing.

If you're like me and CAN'T STAND TO HAVE MESSY SCRIBBLE PAGE, then...not so much.

Either way, writing longhand is good for you, because the operative word here is "writing," and it definitely beats sleeping through your pharmacology class.

No, I definitely agree with you. I'm not a fan of the messy scribble either, so I attempt to write in elegant cursive and always fail. It looks more like loopy chicken scratch. I can't imagine how awful I would write with an actual quill.
