Your example has inspired me to my own confession: me, too.
I've learned to write on the computer, but if I'm having trouble to
express my thoughts, or if I'm doing a news release or something that's
not straightforward, I find that writing the first draft on paper always
helps.
I like to think it has something to with the brain being tuned to the
actions and pace of the writing hand. Or maybe that only works for slow
thinkers like me.
