What type of device do you write with? Tablet, laptop, desktop? Mac or PC? A combination? I'm an artist and looking at possibly getting a Surface Pro tablet. I also want to dabble in writing. Also what software do you use? TY for any advice.

macbook pro.  final draft software.

but i promise you, its not the tool its the talent and concentration. every writer and artist i know can get you something out of anything.  i’ve seen artists make photo realistic drawing out of airport ketchup. i’ve seen eisner award winning scripts that started on cocktail napkins.

i have a friend that laid out a page on an etch a sketch while his kid fell asleep.

do your homework, get the best tools for you, but don’t become one of those ; i cannot draw unless i have my special pen’ people

there is really no such thing.

on the shop talk episode will eisner hosted for jack kirby, jack said every artist asks him what pen he uses as if it had magic in it.
