It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though. I actually find it quite therapeutic and sometimes, a form of meditation. I get hand cramps! Why I want a man cave. Reply Mary E. Powered by frugal

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. Email is one of the most common forms of communication between freelancers and clients, and all too often, the clients have no idea how they come off. The written word can be an unruly form of communication. This hits home in almost any form of online communication.

You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. You’d lose a crucial part of your life (and your income, if your writing forms all or part of your paid work). Writing is a form of communication, and there’s a person on the receiving end.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. Gotta love family;) Blogging, I pretty much hang loose and worry more about getting the content out there in an easily readable form. I think we’ve all arrived at a very special place.

Your circle of friends or business partnerships are usually formed by direct interactions. People Are Asking You To Let Them Help You This has happened to me only recently, but I guess in some form it was always there. not, I tend to have a rather greedy “Delete&# key on my keyboard.

Maybe it’s a form of burnout? When we write in almost a free form and just let it flow, I find that some of our best work is produced. I maximize those as much as I can, and when they strike, I get myself to a keyboard. I think it’s a good idea to step away from the keyboard and take a break.

Many people take advantage of that openness on another level, which is to say we’ve all had trouble with copyright law and keeping our work our own. How do you deal with copyright infringements and people stealing your work? was that Kevin seems to believe in what he does as a form of expression. It’s funny. Pay per view.

This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. This isn’t just because specialization increases your chances of making a living from your writing – it’s also because it’s easier to improve when you focus on mastering one form.

No matter what you do, there will always be folks who feel you’re whoring yourself out in some form or another, but if it works, I don’t have a problem with it.
