Got a rough outline, my writing desk is ready and my typewriters are serviced! What and where do you write? Do you write to music or in silence? What is your word count goal this year?
Hi! I'm a mid 40s guy who is married to the love of my life, have a couple kids and am a small business owner. Some of the things I like to write about are good books, life changing poetry, tattoos, the state of the world, good shows or movies, our mutual hatred for AI, etc.. I collect typewriters and write lots of letters on them. Also stamps, I really dig interesting stamps. I respond quickly and think I'm an all around good choice if you want a constant, reliable, honest pen pal!
P.S. If you are MAGA or are racist or bigoted in any way please do not respond to this post, we will in no way get along. Cheers!
Decided I wanted to learn to read and write braille sonI just got this cool little machine. Excited for the challenge!

I'm in Durham NC and would love to get together with other typewriter enthusiasts and show off some of our favorite machines and do some typing. Would anyone else be interested?
I just started listening to The Orchard Keeper and it strikes me that the story would never sell today due to it's dense descriptions and splintering time lines and just the demand on the reader's attention and effort to keep up. What do you all think?
