Just out of curiosity, do you write with paper and pen or do you have a journal.txt file somewhere?

I suspect there's something about the mechanics of writing that is more beneficial, but I can type at about twice the speed that I can write...

I couldn't agree more with your sentiment on the mechanics. By using a physical object to manipulate the medium, I am slowed down; where with typing I am a blur of output.

With the manipulation of pen and paper, I have to think slower and hold onto an idea in a different manner; my thoughts have to be thought about.
