The problem is that I end up with a whole lot of written material with no easy way to organize it and little to no searchability. Over the years, we’ve heard from many of you who feel exactly the same way. Something about that just seems to suck all the creativity right out of the process. I prefer writing on paper with a pen and have no interest in using handwriting apps for the smartphone, digital pensor tablet and stylus to capture my thoughts.
Like a lot of you, I carry a notebook every day and take a ton of handwritten notes about almost everything from grocery lists to my someday novel.
