"I do all my original writing by hand. I have greater mobility: I can write on planes, with friends in cafes. Plus it feels more connected with my body; my hand moves with my arm and shoulder, which is connected to my chest and heart. All good writing comes from the body and is a physical experience. Can you type or use your computer? Of course. It's a different physical act so a slightly different voice might come out."

I wonder if this last sentence is true.
Gee, what an observation.
I am always seeking information about the physiology of writing. That adds a whole new variable. As soon as I can get to the med school, I'll try to find out if any research has been done.

Interesting.
