Are You Writing Serious Fantasy? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Several years ago before I had my first computer, I use to keep notebooks with writing: short stories and poems. I then built my first computer and it was a godsent as it made it possible to type my work in half the time it took to write( and it was legabile!). Now I have a laptop and it is the most sublime item I have ever purchased. Not only can I write with this baby, I can also type notes for further literary productions!

Dispite my coming up in the world of technology, I still prefer to take notes by hand on paper. Hard copies can never fully be replaced by text files as your computer can lose those files forever in the endless abyss of circits. But it cannot lose a piece of paper that you wrote on(only I can!

It is great to see so many people who enjoy writing and thinking. It is too few actually develop those ablities seriously and make something of it, even if it is for a hobby.
