Even though I'm no neurobiologist, I'm certain a different part of the brain is used when doing a handwritten manuscript vs. using your computer/laptop. When I started my novel, I used only the laptop BUT I used colored index cards to lay out characters, minor story arcs, and scenes. If you feel more "flow" by doing it by hand, go for it! I also heartily agree with the sticky notes method. Good luck!
