Description

Once upon a time, there was a writer who had a passion for old things. She loved the smell of musty books, the creaking of old wooden floors, and the sound of a typewriter's clacking keys. She had always dreamed of having an antique typewriter of her own, and after years of searching, she finally found one in an antique shop. It was a beautiful piece of machinery, with keys made of ivory and a shiny black finish. She brought the typewriter home and set it up on her old wooden desk, the same desk she had used as a child to do her homework. She felt a sense of nostalgia wash over her as she sat down in front of the typewriter and ran her fingers over the keys. She wondered about the people who had used the typewriter before her, what kind of stories they had written, and what their lives were like. She loaded a fresh sheet of paper into the typewriter and began to write. The clacking of the keys echoed through the room, and she felt like she had been transported back in time. There was something special about the typewriter, something that made her words feel more authentic and meaningful. As she wrote, she became lost in her work, the outside world fading away as she delved deeper into her story. She typed away for hours, the sound of the typewriter filling the room with a soothing rhythm. When she was finished, she leaned back in her chair and looked out the window, feeling satisfied and fulfilled. She knew that she would never go back to a regular computer again. The antique typewriter had become an extension of herself, a tool that helped her tap into her creativity and produce her best work. She smiled as she realized that her old wooden desk and antique typewriter had become her sanctuary, a place where she could escape and bring her ideas to life.

Now you make me want a typewriter. I hate typing so I'll never use it. But to have it for nostalgia's sake.

You are so talented, to produce these AI images - that does take exceptional word skills to get exactly what you are after! And then finishing them to perfection. Inspirational!

LOL... That's older than the one I learned on in school. Back when Msg Card computers were the Cat's Meow. IBM, NCR, TI, and Heath kits were it. Pascal, Snowbal & Cobalt were the languages to write in.

It's probably as old as the one my parents bought me to practice on at home when I was learning at school. Big cast iron thing with very heavy keys. I let my sister-in-law have it when I bought myself a snazzy electric one when I started work - then regretted it as the one I had was antique and would probably have got a reasonable sale price for it, even back then.

Just reread it. It reminds me of Laurel K. Hamilton talking about her corner. And the chats I had with Mandy M. Roth, and Michelle M. Pillow in the "The Raven Vampire Nightclub" in the old Yahoo Goups.

Too true that! M&M let a few of us write a fanfic inside the Group. It was a blast. I even remember when we had a java(?) chat room here. loL

Don't remember it here, but there was a java chat on Midge Ure's site - first one I ever joined. Also used to have one of those generic chat rooms on my own site years ago. Can't remember what it was called though
