My notebooks are all solid blocks of text. No paragraph breaks or chapter breaks or anything like that. But once I sit in front of the computer, I can't turn off my expectations of formatting.

I find my creativity is deeper ( that sounds weird, but I can't think of another way to decried the feeling) when I write long hand.
