I'm feeling both anxious and excited. I have a possible job in San Francisco that might take me if everything works out well. I live in Indiana. It'll be such a big move. In a lot of ways. Scared to death. Lol. |
What do you think of using an old fashioned typewriter for your writing projects? |
It's pretty cool, but a lot of agents/publishers only take digital copies now, so you'd have to retype it for that. Then, if it needs edits, you get to retype it again. Don't get me wrong. I like handwriting mine before I type it up as an extra form of a "rough draft," but I wouldn't want to have to redo the whole thing. |
I'm kind of drawn to the typewriter for some reason. I saw this guy who's some author somewhere working on his writing with a typewriter. I know that it's easier to email your Word docs or PDFs to people to review it or edit, or even publish it. I've done too. But I'm trying to be more conservative with my electronic stuff. I might be getting hacked, or at least, I feel a bit naked writing on my computer. It's just one of these fears I need to get over, I guess. |
Tom Hanks has a fun book of stories called 'Uncommon Type' . Each story has a typewriter featured in it somehow. I like the ease of a computer for editing and saving, and then sharing with others. |
I've added a new entry to my book, "Mary Faderan's Blog" ![]() "A new update" ![]() |
