The Typewriter Theory

You know how on a Typewriter the only way to correct anything is to rip out the page and start all over again or write over it in pen? Well, I'm writing a journal on Word (Typewriter Journal), where I can't correct any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. mistakes. If you want to see it so far (I only started today), I can share it! 

 

zzap!!! Like zap!

Typewriters are really fun to use. My English teacher has one in his classroom. I think it might lend itself for people writing on it to be more... Careful, I guess: Concious and deliberate when writing.

1. Top

2. Abigail, I've actually never used a typewriter. I just thought it would be fun. I messed up sooo much, so I had to keep saying 'I mean'. Yeah, no one would really want to read my journal because a. It's probably boring b. There are so many mistakes.

Oh my gosh, my parents have a typewriter and I once had to use it for filling out a form. All I had to do was write my name and things like that, but it took me an hour! I kept messing up! I wasted so much paper, too!

My grandma has a typewriter and my cousin and I were playing with it a few years ago and it wa really fun! We were pretending to work as secretaries and principals at a school. It was really fun to use, but some weird things with ink on the ends kept popping up and we kept having to push them back down, which was really annoying. I really want to use a typewriter again, they're really cool.
