The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love working on a typewriter - the rhythm, the sound; it's like playing the piano, which I do, too.
Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running.
I think the computer is a hindrance to good writing because it is so tempting to leave what you've written. If you use a typewriter, you must retype if you make a mistake, and thus, you must re-examine every word.
All novelists write in a different way, but I always write in longhand and then do two versions of typescript on a computer.
Before I liked to write, I liked to type. I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter.
I like the sound a typewriter makes.
I still use a typewriter from time to time, but because I can't type as well as I used to, I really don't use one very much.
I just sit at a typewriter and curse a bit.
I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.
A typewriter is a means of transcribing thought, not expressing it.
