Saw this picture the other day and thought well… We go camping to get away from modern conveniences and entanglements, why not a holiday from wired and internet connected writing?
There’s a certain old-school romance about having to use a typewriter to compose. Maybe, like camping, in small doses it can be really fun and refreshing :D.

Definitely nice indeed. Just the tick of the typewriter key and the sound of the water rushing to the shore. Birds flapping their wings overhead. Old school indeed.
Glennda,
Yeah I wish I could be there right now lol! That little typewriter’s pretty neat too.
Even though I use a keyboard every day, I am totally dependent on the backspace key. With a typewriter it was “white out” and that was too time consuming.
I always hated white out, not only was it a pain in the ass but it looked so sloppy. So if you made a mistake you had to choose between using something that was sloppy or having to type the whole page over again.
That said, I’ve been considering getting a little typewriter for a while now, I think it’d be fun to do a little old fashioned typing every so often without the benefit of a backspace key or things like that. A bit of Zen typing :). Plus when I’m not using it (which will be most of the time lol) it would make a great decoration for my office.
