: Re: Should I start writing on paper first or start directly on the computer? If I have an excellent idea for a story, would it be wiser to write on paper first or start directly on the computer?

For me, the advantage of using paper is that I often make rash editing decisions early in the process, and lose things I may have wanted to hang on to.

Using some sort of version control might be an interesting solution to that particular problem though.

The other reason I use paper is that it forces me to go over the text at least once in order to find major problems while entering it into a computer. I suspect a more professional writer than I would be doing that a few times anyway, regardless of which medium he or she started on.
