Before I had my own computer, I would fill notebook after notebook with stories and ideas. Then when I started using my computer, I still wrote everything on paper. Now I have a hybrid approach.
Really it depends on what I am writing and where my mind is. Sometimes I like being able to sit down with a notebook and pen and spend hours writing out notes. Sometimes my best work comes from using the old school outline method. I have each section planned and listed out, and then I type it from there. I like having the written notes or outline to follow as I go along.
Other times I love just having my laptop. I can sit and just type and type as the ideas come. In times like this the additional structure would just slow me down. I just go with what is going on my head. This is sometimes scary, but it has also been very productive and rewarding.
