Fallen In love


This is it!
It's finally happened!!!

I got a typewriter!
I am sooooooo excited about this.
Now I can write my novel the old way.
The real way.

You have no idea how awesome this is.
The sounds this machine makes.
The rattling of the old motor while I strike the keys.
The way the words look on the page, with that Times New Roman font that comes alive instantly, instead of having to print from my computer.
The imprint that the letters leave on the back of the pages I type.
It's like Braille for the gods.

I am in love.
I love the sound of the letters as my fingers hit the keys and they appear like magic, real and tangible, alive and breathing.

It's phenomenal.
It's my new obsession.

It's my new reason for girlish sighs...
