My handwritten journal is also what I write stories in (including novel-length stuff). I vastly prefer writing fiction longhand – it feels better to me, like my brain–paper connection works better than my brain–keyboard connection, and I also think I produce better work when I handwrite. So I don't mind that I still have to type it up afterwards.

Like [personal profile] ioplokon I also handwrite for language practice – Japanese in my case. I have a very bad visual memory, so I basically remember characters by what my hand does when I write them rather than what they look like. If I were only typing kanji, I would never learn them properly!
