I was told by a fan of this blog I should post more, and furthermore that they would like to see some of my creative writing. I had a vision of this being a blog just about typewriters and typewriter-esque things, but I am happy to share some of my writing if you want to see it! I will clearly be marking all of my poetry or creative writing as such so that those of you only interested in typewriter things can just glaze over it. For the rest of you who are interested, please enjoy and look forward to more posts like this one:

| Sometimes saying to oneself "Ok, let's just write like Kerouac" is a method for writing terrible stuff, and sometimes it turns out all right. I did this bit in three quick drafts in rapid succession, the first to just barf it all out. Then I read it aloud, noted to myself which parts I did not like, and then wrote the second draft copying the first draft and making adjustments and adding and subtracting a few things. Then I read that aloud, and marked and made changes with a pen, reading it several times. I then typed this draft you see having made all my changes in pen and adding just a few more, mostly adding or removing punctuation or single words. |
