I recall reading one of my favorite authors describe writing on typewriter, and the process of preparing a "final" (hopefully) draft manuscript for one's agent or publisher. One point he made was that this "obsolete" technology imposed it's own discipline; for example, when retyping a story or chapter -- yet again -- one was highly motivated to eliminate superfluous verbiage, and perhaps even whole scenes, rather than have to type them out again for the umpteenth time. He suggested that one of the effects of computerization of fiction writing was to encourage more polished sentences and paragraphs, but overall longer, wordier, and less carefully structured work.

I'm a consumer of writing (mainly science fiction) but have no writing talent myself. I'm boggled by people who have the capability to construct a complete story. Now if there were software that could take an idea and produce a story for me.... :) Very interesting!
