Why am I drawn to typewriters?

This week, I decided to analyze the reasons why I (and I'm sure some others) are drawn to collecting and using typewriters at a time when most would consider them to be "obsolete".  Enjoy!

  1. For me it's all the reasons above but also how it impacts the writing process, both challenging the writer to write with intention and also linearly. With a computer it is easy to write things out of order or go back and change and modify pieces, but a typewriter encourages a linear writing process. For many that is a hindrance but for me it is helpful.
