I've been cheating on my laptop with a mechanical pencil and legal pad.
I'd forgotten how good it feels.
I guess I'm kinda weird as I can't stand the sound that a dull pencil makes on a paper and I'm too lazy to get up and sharpen it.
My preferred method is using my G2 pen and my Moleskin pocket pad.
I can't read my own hand writing, so I use the computer.
Pilot Precise V7 on a Mead Five Star.
Brand loyalty at its finest.
I like it when my partner has a good memory, because mine has a lot of holes due to years in front of that machine ... that makes moving pictures ... it's like the movie theatre, but smaller.
Anyway, generally, I'll type, but I prefer other people to remember stuff for me. That responsibility stuff sound hard.
Pilot Precise Extra-Fine. It's the little black dress of pens.
And I prefer legal pads. (The black power suit of notepads?)
Believe it or not. I like to stay away from paper, and computers. Which i've found more since i started working.
Like when we concept over lunch or something I'll never take a book with me, feels like I'm assuming an idea will come while I'm out there, so then I fear it never will.
I do however keep a pad around with a gel pen when I'm in meetings. Gel pens because they always make me write in scribbles thanks to their effortless inking abilities. That way when I go back to look at the notes if I can't remember the writing of that concept it was not only indecipherable but unimportant.
Long post, sorry I'm tipsy.
For concepting, I go with a sketchbook and mechanical pencil. I dig the old-school kind, that are designed to look like #2 pencils.
When I'm in strict headline or body copy mode, though, a keyboard makes revisions much easier. And neater.
i get extremely distracted if i try to write on my laptop, so i roll with a sarasa gel roller pen and a pad. as far as cheap pens go, i think they're by far the best.
Paper and the blood of my enemies.
