How do you write down your ideas? Do you keep things neatly organized on your pc or do you write down random thoughts on sticky notes? Do you type everything, or do you have to write everything out first?
I've always been the type of person who has to write almost everything down first. Short blog posts are the exception to that, but when I'm writing a review, or I have an idea for something I really want to talk about I have to write it down first. I'll curl up in my recliner in my office with some music and my notebook and pen in hand.
I might start with a list of ideas. If I already know exactly what I want to write about I might start with an outline, but normally I'll just write as the words flow. Sure, I go through an awful lot of notebook paper and pens, but this is what feels comfortable to me. I'm a hands on person. I like to cross out sentences I don't want to use or scratch out a word to replace. That's also how my ideas come to me. I can't open a blank document on my computer and expect the ideas to pour out of my head.
How do you write? Do you do everything digitally in this day and age or do you still write it out then type it up?

I use to love to write with paper and pen but now with the medical issues I face my handwriting is awful. It's actually easier for me to type but even that's tough. I really need to get a better keyboard.
I've seen some pens that are made for people with arthritis. I may try those out too. Nothing like ink on paper.
