  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I've grown up writing on computers. I write lyrics/poems on the computer, all essays are done on computers. Its too easy. You have instant proofreading tools. Access to dictionaries and other research tools. And my work is instantly read to do what I want with... no copying, just copying and pasting. Even last semester's english 101 class I did in a computer lab. This semester, English 102 isn't... but my professor doesn't like the room!

AND MAY RAW ROCK KILL YOU FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN.

I wrote the first draft of my novel out by hand, but since then I've gotten my own computer. WOW. What a difference. Not only is the old draft ridiculously heavy to tote (9 notebooks!), but it doesn't allow for editing-as-you-go. I've since then taking to writing on Lappy Laptop, and I don't think I'll go back anytime soon. :)

My pen no longer keeps up with my head, so I prefer writing on a computer. I still proofread and edit by hand, though.

For sketching out ideas, as well as for beginning any original screenplay, I use a travel notebook a friend gave me many years ago.

I prefer to do initial drafts on the computer, but sometimes I write by hand during class. I don't like to though....it's incredibly tedious to copy to the computer and much more difficult to share with friends. I do a lot of editing by hand though; there are some things that you just don't catch on the screen.

I prefer to use "Virtual Paper" as you call it because It's alot easier to use, and it wont rip or tear. And you dont need to keep getting a new peice of paper if you mess up a whole essay, you can just go back and backspace and re-write the parts that troubled you or the teachers.
