Very sad indeed. Does that include laptops??? They’re pretty quiet.

I write poems longhand and then transfer them to the computer. For fiction I can write either way. If it’s for long stretches at a time, I like to use the computer.

I make notes and keep ideas for scenes, characters, plots, etc, in small notebooks, always have one in my backpack. I’ll sketch out a bit of dialogue I don’t want to forget, too, in longhand. The laptop gets the main writing done.

Ah, this makes me sad. I do love the sound of a typewriter. I have my grandma’s old one and it pleases me to hear the productive clack-clack-ding!
