notebook running block
Writing on a computer feels like a recipe for writer's block.

notebook running writing
I write on a computer, but I've run the complete gambit. When I was very young, I wrote with a ballpoint pen in school notebooks.

Then someone gave me a word processor and I was amazed at being able to fit ten pages on one of those floppy discs. Charles de Lint

notebook writing gay

hands drawing asking-questions
I was asking questions which nobody else had asked before, because nobody else had actually looked at certain structures.
