I absolutely would have thrown my desk at him. I would have done it in a dark alley at night, with no witnesses, but at some point there -would- be a desk coming straight at his head. <br /><br />Too_lively - I'm completely free of that need, myself. Whenever I'm writing either in my own hand or with a typewriter, everything just seems to be going to slowly and I get frustrated because the writing doesn't keep up with the thinking. So for me that has the opposite effect.choochoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994404946009103090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545109.post-41971421083889058582006-10-07T05:12:00.000+02:002006-10-07T05:12:00.000+02:00I admit that when writing there is a stage at the ...I admit that when writing there is a stage at the beginning that I absolutely must write with pen/pencil and paper. I can type out later drafts on my pc, but I need to sort my thoughts on paper first.<br /><br />I guess I sort of understand someone who says that a typewriter brings them closer to their work because writing in my own hand does that for me.Too_Livelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563315253668625886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545109.post-19303984475766327292006-10-06T17:22:00.000+02:002006-10-06T17:22:00.000+02:00I had a creative writing teacher who insisted that...I had a creative writing teacher who insisted that writing on a manual typewriter was the only way that true writers worked. Most of the class believed him. I wanted to throw my desk at him for even suggesting that.ticknarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801355244098858109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545109.post-22349049926271230132006-10-06T14:41:00.000+02:002006-10-06T14:41:00.000+02:00I love my old typewriter.

Every once in a while I type with it, just for fun, and it makes me feel very grateful that someone invented the computer. lolchoochoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994404946009103090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545109.post-82589688546257576932006-10-06T14:31:00.000+02:002006-10-06T14:31:00.000+02:00Interesting point of view..It is kinda funny how t...Interesting point of view..It is kinda funny how things progress and change and in society however the tend to stay the sameKimberleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193235838064250187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545109.post-42529223635236088942006-10-06T11:53:00.000+02:002006-10-06T11:53:00.000+02:00For practical purposes, I'll take computers anyday...For practical purposes, I'll take computers anyday over a typewriter. But old typewriters carry a certain sentimental value.
