I use to do everything in notebooks. I even tried they sticky notes on the wall next to my computer one year but I have found over the years that the best thing for me is to type it all in. I don't know why but sitting down at the keyboard always leads to some form of writing. Everyone has to do what is best for them. Not everything works for everyone. So experiment and figure out what works for you. This year, I am thinking of typing my book directly into writing.com.
