Pen and Paper, Typewriter, or Computer?

• 
  How are you going to write your novel? With pen and paper, typewriter, or will you compose directly on the computer?
  
  
  
  I admit that I love pen and paper and so I will try to do a lot with that, but ultimately, I am just faster on the keyboard now. Pounding out the required word count may mean I have to use the computer.
  
  
  
  We have to do 1667 words a day to meet the deadline. Just in case you were wondering. That is about 4, typed, double-spaced pages a day. Piece of cake!

  I'll be a combination of the pen & paper with the computer.
  
  My game plan is to use Google Docs so I can access anywhere (in theory) and print often so I know where I'm headed when I am in places (the rink) where the computer isn't an option.

  Computer. I tried taking some prep notes by hand this weekend and it felt so....hard! I do edit by hand, with a red pen, but that is small little jotting motions, not complete sentences.
  
  
  
  I am using Google Docs so I can move between the three computers in my life. I am using Excel to construct a timeline with commentary.
