I had to divorce the notion of writing from the physical act of using a pen. Now, of course, it's just the opposite.

Several of my short stories of the last couple years have been written that way.<br /><br />Hell, my second most recent story I wrote was written with my thumbs on my freakin' iPhone. That was more a result of needing to work on it on the plane in cramped quarters, where even long hand can be a challenge.
