This is something I used to do all the time, in fact several of the stories I'm just now finishing up were started longhand.
I'm a very fast typist so it's very tempting to do first drafts at the computer, but I'm trying some different approaches to voice and thus writing more slowly anyway.
I envy writers who can dictate into a little voice recorder and have somebody else type it all up... then make revisions by hand, and somebody else types those in, too.
