Pen vs computer, debate continues

I’ve written about this before today: What way is the best to write, the pen vs. the computer?

My friend, producer Marshall Block once shared that advice, that the best songs are written with pen. Stephen King swears by it.

They may be right, but I’ve tried abandoning my computer many times to no avail; I always come back to the laptop, breathing a sigh of relief. (Heck, I type haikus on my iPhone!)

Sure, the writing longhand in a moleskin notebook is sexier, but when it comes to writing quality work, it’s probably not about the pen or computer; it’s just about sitting down to work, often.
