Welcome! And may I suggest a fountain pen over the regular ballpoint? Your 1/2 way to looking like a writer just by using one :) and really they are very good, and a hobby in their own right :)
Hi Andrea. Great post. You are a writer - you are writing! I like that part about typewriters and also imagining someone writing a whole novel by hand!!! When my grown-up daughter was a baby I wrote a whole novel on a portable typewriter (with a carbon copy). I was very disciplined with how I wrote it - a chapter at a time after going back, editing then retyping the chapter before!! Was it any good? I have no idea as I put it away in a folder not knowing what to do with it back then! I no longer write that way but know that I found a way that worked for me then, and I've found a way that works for me now. You are there Andrea, you are writing. Bravo.
You wrote this so well I could practically hear the typewriter’s ding at the end of each line! There’s something about that tactile resistance and sound that made writing feel more intentional.

Always loved writing with those, even if my fingers are always messy after. A special talent I guess :)
Oh to have a feather quill. Also I have to agree with Shareese—for not a writer, you wrote this really well!!
