I find it ironic that at the outset of the article it states it was written by the author using google gemini. I haven’t yet used an AI writing tool. But when writing about benefits of writing by hand… you see?
I do see. That was definately an unconcious goof. I do like technology. I did think it was interesting that writing by hand has benifits, I guess the paper shows that i am conflicted
I was in a writing workshop for a while where we were given prompts and we were supposed to write, by hand, as fast as we could. We were to let the ideas flow through our fingers… through the pen onto paper unedited. Part of the instruction… and a pretty hard rule was to detach from your editor.
I think it is hard. I think it would be good for journaling. In that situation I think it might be easier to let out the raw material inside. I also think ones age might have something to do with it for those of us who grew up without computers it might be easier. Howeer, I am older than many and i am very tied to right with the computer. I can see if one practices how it could broadens ones ability for working on the brain. I am not sure it is worth it.
Thank you for this post, Karen. I could agree that typing is easier and save time; but there are 2 different stages of writing. I adore the first stage and would never allow AI to take it from me. The second is routine, and AI could help with spelling.
1) "Inspiration and a flash of idea". I don’t know what I will write I just have idea and contour. Then I grab a paper and start write. Not nice and neatly (in my case) but fast before the idea slipped away, with a lot of striking through, asterisks, inserted parts, abbreviated words, and other corrections which only I understand. I remember such scribbled text visually and saw it as it would be.
2) "Typing and spelling". After that comes typing, and during typing new corrections of structure.
Thank you so much for your comments. You make some great points. I can't spell, so I am grateful for Grammarly for 2 of my college degrees There were no computers, I dont know

That was damned hard for me.
