Other than for writing short notes (Shopping list?) the pen and paper is probably obsolete as far as writing is concerned.

I know of no publisher who accepts handwritten manuscripts.
Editing a handwritten manuscript would end up very messy and involve numerous tedious re-writes.
I know lots of people who can't read their own handwriting let alone the handwriting of others.

Want to carry something with you to make notes as they come to you? Use a cell phone and dictate the note or get one with a stylus. I use a Galaxy Note 4 and it quickly converts my scrawl to typed text.
