[stylist] Writing process

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

there are well researched differences between how the human 
mind  interacts with hard copy text vs with a virtual document.
that hard copy has a huge array of cues, gnemonic keys, shapers, etc.
the virtual document often just seems less real, less easily 
recalled, less easily operated on within the mind.
