James, this is great. I also bought a typewriter for creative reasons (only I went way back to 1954!):

Hey, Bob. I love your Saturday Evening Post article! I also love your 1954 typewriter. I may have to get one of those one day too. Such beautiful works of art they are. Thanks for the comment and for reading my post.

100% agree.

I've never used a typewriter. Perhaps the time is now!

The only downside is that I can't take it to Starbucks and write there. Well, I could, but they'd most likely get annoyed by the clickety-clack of the keys. It would be funny though.

The Starbucks crowd? I feel like they'd love it! If anything, you'd start a trend.

I wish I had the nerve to do it and film it.

Your new typewriter is a beauty! I’ve found that when I start a piece of writing on paper, the end result feels more “me.” And that’s what people are subscribing to.

Happy typing (or pecking)! 🐓😄

Thanks! Part of what drew me to this particular typewriter was the orange/yellow color. And I agree with you about the "me" aspect of our writing.
