Twelve Writers Who Don't Write on Computers
The list, care of Online Accredited Colleges.
From said list...
World-renowned author JK Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, still prefers to write by hand, although she is known to tweet occasionally. In an interview with Amazon.co.uk, Rowling shared that she does her first drafts on pen and paper, then, like other authors, edits as she types her work onto her computer. Interestingly, Rowling prefers to write with a black pen instead of blue, and likes to use "narrow feint" writing paper, but in a pinch, she'll write on anything. In fact, she used an (empty) airplane sick bag to write down the name of the Hogwarts houses. By writing longhand, Rowling has actually created very valuable pieces: a handwritten and illustrated copy of Rowling's The Tales of Beetle the Bard was auctioned off for $4 million, benefiting a children's charity.
