This decision is extremely hard for me to choose between. I love paper...I love the thought of writing of seeing ink emerge onto the paper in the fashion I choose. Yet, when I write I want to get my thoughts out fast and my fast writing is in no way eloquent or neat. A keyboard makes a handy companion for exactness and readability. If I'm writing a story I want to be able to actually reread what I wrote.
But then I tend to think of using paper as becoming part of the art itself, it seems as though you are actually putting your thoughts and emotions into that page. The computer screen seems to me as just a tool to accomplish a means. Although, I love the quickness of a computer and the fact that it feels more complete on the screen thanks to spell check, but I also feel more distracted on the computer than when I write on paper. Then there's the fact that it's easier to start on the computer rather than paper since most things are only accepted typed out. I believe both have their benefits, both have their flaws...my vote on this one is still being debated.
