If you need someone else’s permission, you have mine. I’ll sign the slip. Go make a bunch of low-stakes errors and learn from them.

I should probably stress the “low-stakes” part.

The typewritten work continues to pile up, little by little, and it’s really invigorated my desire to write. Even if it doesn’t originate on the typewriter. I really don’t want to romanticize it or apply special characteristics to it – it’s just a thing that helps put letters on paper. It’s kind of a neat thing, though, and it keeps me coming back. I think that latter part is the most helpful, and it isn’t unique to the machine.
