#WordWeavers 17, Would you still write if you had to use a typewriter or pen and paper?

I'd be covered in funky ink stains, and slow AF, but yeah, I'd be fine. I do rough drafts like this occasionally. It really makes you examine your prose, which in this case, was lacking a bit.

Notebook with clumsy cursive covered in ink stains on both pages. There is a pen on the open notebook, and it's on a black table.

@HeliaXyana I don't actually know. I just got reacquainted with my old black widow keyboard, whose keystrokes, when I'm on fire, sound like a hurricane - I think I would miss the storm.

I would make do...but it would be painful.

Yes, definitely painful either way. Whether its pens, or a nice old typewriter, it's gonna hurt. Though I do like the mechanical sound of the typewriter. It sounds better when you're in a writing flow.

Thanks! This isn't my neatest example, but I'm sort of learning to like the imperfection of it.

#FountainPen and paper for me, but I do own a Smith-Corona Silent Super typewriter.😊

Oh, that is fancy. One day, I'll get myself a fancy old typewriter to restore... They are lovely contraptions. Though, not as portable as a notebook.
