Author Kevin J. Anderson typically dictates your stories (or at least an outline to the story) on a recorder while he is out hiking in the majestic Colorado mountains.
Author Neil Gaiman writes many of his stories by hand.
I have heard many tales of writers who, while commuting on a bus or train, will type out stories on their phones.
Earlier last month, I was brainstorming a new short story for a magazine submission, writing my thoughts in a Leuchtturm1917 notebook using a Zebra fountain pen. Then, using said notebook and pen, I started writing the story. By hand. One page turned into several as I waited for my wife to recover from a scheduled surgery. I completed the story and was absolutely amazed that I had written it all by hand.
I have done this before, writing stories by hand. There are times when I don't want to lug around my laptop, and simply having a notebook and pen is the easiest way to go. Writing by hand is quite fun and freeing.
