Nietzsche, on writing equipment

When Nietzsche started using a typewriter, his prose became tighter and more “telegraphic”. Accordingly, Nietzsche said, “Our writing equipment takes part in the forming of our thoughts.”

That's why I write first in longhand and then type it in the computer. The feel of rough paper, the bleeding of the pen into the paper and the strain that comes with writing too furiously.
I also love my handwriting too much.
