Hi all. Is it just me or does anyone else still print off pages of their ms? I do this as an indication of how far I've come and how much I've done since starting. I compare it to picking a novel up and reading it on paper against flicking on Kindle and reading it on a screen. For me to see my work in print, even by me, makes it feel real. Am I the odd one?
I print because I like to have a handy copy for editing if I'm going somewhere I can't access a computer.
Thanks David that's spot on.
I think it tends to put you in a different frame of mind from reading it off the screen because sitting in front of a computer is when you tend to be writing. I think it takes you out of that head-on and helps you view your work as a reader would, Also there's something more real about it....
