For any writers out there, you’ve probably grappled with this one. I mean, unless you can type at about 60 words a minute, writing longhand is the quickest way to get your thoughts down on paper.

Only problem is: transcribing them. It’s just not fun!

I know of some writers who write longhand and employ a typist to type it up on a word processor.

I’d like to do that, and I should do that. But I’m afraid of the cost.
The advantages of writing longhand are it mutes the editor and you can get thoughts down quickest. Even on a type writer I feel a compulsion to think more about what I’m writing, and hence edit in my head as I go.

Well - tomorrow is 1st September. First day of spring down here. It’s writing season! So I have to hit the typewriter again, but I’m also gunna hit the Yellow Pages and see what transcription services there are.

A provocative thought for you: Good writers aren’t necessarily good story tellers.

A key copmponent of the writing course I am studying is grammar.At the start of the year I was happy. I knew what I knew and didn’t know what I didn’t know.Now I’m confused because now I still know what I know, I know more than I used to know but the big problem is now I know what I don’t know.

Just read this excellent quote by Kate Grenville in her book for aspiring writers, The Writing Book:The world has enough books and writers already, so unless you find writing satisfying you might as well do something else.The same applies to blogging.
