How do you learn to write a children's book? Do you use a pen on paper, make notes in journals or go straight to a computer?
Nikki Asked me; “Just wondering, have you always written on a computer, or do you first draft out ideas and thoughts for stories in a notebook?”
I’ve gone through a load of systems and rituals in my writing career. This is a sort of history of my methods of writing on the computer, why and how I started and why the computer made me the writer I became.
Sorry about the clcikbaity title, but That's what you have to do to get noticed! lol
