Laptop for me and I use it in the kitchen. It's kinda hard to have an office when you live in a flat. I can't write with my pc or tele in my bedroom, I'm too easily distracted. Honestly, I'd like to disconnect the laptop from the internet as well but I can't as no-one else would be able to use it.

I tend to write with the kitchen door shut as well. I prefer the quiet.

I can't write longhand either, as I can't for some reason get my thought processes down too well. It's quite problematic when I need to write something in creative writing class and I have like five minutes. In fact, the last piece I wrote there, needed to be wrote in skaz (if anyone's heard of that?). It was quite funny, I intended to use scribbled out words and I couldn't read my writing when I came to read it out. It didn't help that many of the words used were either abbreviated or slang.

That's one thing I hate about longhand writing actually. It becomes a mess when you're scribbling words out.

Laptop. And a notebook. (It's dangerous, though. Half of the people I know are now like bounty-hunters, they want to get the notebook, 'cause they don't know what I write in there)

Laptop all the way, baby! Sometimes (who am I kidding, nearly always!) when I'm at work at an idea hits me, I'll jot it down on a piece of A4 paper, take it home, mull it over, and type it up. Usually half of it is scrapped. Beside my bed, I have another pad and pen. And for those times when my wrists feel like lumps of led fused together, and my figures crack like I have arthritis, I have a voice-recorder. It's very weird hearing your voice for the first time, lol! I'm still freaked out about it!

I have mostly written pen and paper firstly. Although having just got a new laptop I'm trying to go straight to laptop. I do think the pen and paper thing helps me more creatively. Well I'm currently experimenting with both and will let you know how that goes.
