"I do a first draft in longhand, then do a very careful longhand revision of the text, then type out the final manuscript.... The word processor lends itself to a text that has great polish and clarity on a sentence-by-sentence and paragraph level, but has haywire overall chapter-by-chapter construction, because it’s almost impossible to rifle through and do a quick scan of, say, twenty pages."-- J.G. Ballard in the Paris Review interview
Comment: Has the word processor changed the way writers write?
