Thanks, guys. Yes, handwriting is more natural for me and it would be easier to make the 'morning pages' that Julia Cameron speaks about in her book The Artist's Way. And also I am not a good typist.
With regard to software I had a look around and MyScript Notes seems to allow some kind of training to be done. I also got a second hand Genius G-Note 7000 which has not arrived yet. This one uses ordinary paper and two special pens (one red and one blue I believe). I have read somewhere that it could take even three colours, which could be nice for editing. Personaly I would edit in Scrivener and not on paper. Handwriting for me is all about the first draft.
The reason I like the idea of writing on The Sharp is that it's all done electonically and even if it doesn't have a screen back light I could use a little book light. The latest model Shap wg-s20 is supposed to be the best but it is also more than double the price of WG-N10.
Probably if I were a good typist i wouldn't think about all this.
