Nowadays it is comparatively rare for me to hand write anything of any substance.  I jot down notes for sermons, or key points for letters or emails, but that's about it.

Today I actually wrote out longhand a first draft of my reflection for Sunday, which meant the first typed draft was already partly refined.

And it was good.  Maybe I should do it more often! 

Maybe now the commentaries and worship books are nearer the desk and further from the computer, I will.

Anyway, in another rare event, for the second successive week by the end of Tuesday I have a full first draft for Sunday.  In theory this should lead to lots more honing; in practice time will tell!!
