Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

@denisestlouie Yeah! You've found a journaling method that works for you! Many of us have different approaches to it all, and believe me, there is no one "right" way".
Having dyslexia must be a real challenge, and it sounds like you took that on and have done a lot to help yourself. All I want to say is, "there are no journaling police!" Incorrect grammar, misspelled or misplaced words, it hopefully won't stand in anyone's way to get ideas and thoughts out onto paper [the real stuff or electronic!] And pictures can be used, collages, or drawing out in pen/colored pencil.
They say there seems to be a different response internally when we write out in longhand versus using an electronic means. What has been your experience in this, I am curious? For myself, I use longhand, as it is much more portable.

I think that writing from my phone on a small screen works best for me. It's the same for reading. The fewer words and sentences I see at once the less my eyes jump around the page.
However when I writing about things that happened long ago and I'm processing how it impacted the way I am or behave long hand writing seems to be my preferred way to write. It probably because handwriting is slower that typing or swiping. I assume that it gives me more time to think through the memory.
