A friend asked me the other day, do you type out all of your work or do on paper. For my creative work, such as my poems, I normally sit down and write with pencil. Sometimes, I use a pen.
I just feel like I'm writing and expressing myself when I'm not at the computer typing away. I also think that it's important to have notebooks of handwritten work to pass down for future generations.
Hopefully, if anyone stumbles across my journals or my poem books they will be able to read my scribble. Sure the pages might be a little yellowed or parts of the ink or pencil missing, but that is what gives the one to one feeling when you read these types of findings.
What if one day there is no electricity and all my meanderings were on voice journals on the PC or typed out and stored on disks? Would I be forever lost in the silence of the machines that have died because the technology era had long faded into the past?
Just something to think about. Your thoughts on the topic are much appreciated. Please leave them in the comment section.
