can i just buy bamboo pen?

i noticed something to day while in xara. i noticed that i dont draw well with the shape editor. i decided to give the freehand pen a try. i like drawing freehand much better as i just cant think in terms of the shape editor and think drawing freehand would be easier. would it? when my hand does the thinking i can get better results. so im consider buying a drawing tablet. art is hard, that much is true.
