Robert A. Caro on Writing by Hand

Read Caro's WORKING awhile ago, but this bit, on why Caro writes so much of his initial drafts by hand, has stuck with me:

"At that final meeting, after first saying something generous about my writing, he added: 'But you're never going to achieve what you want to, Mr. Caro, if you don't stop thinking with your fingers.'"

And so my attempts to more vigorously incorporate handwriting – and improving said handwriting – continue.
