Blazing Storm

A record-breaking day of writing, and highlight of 2021.

(The images below are scans of the author’s typewritten pages and illustrations. Archived by date and page number in the top-left. Illustrations, when presented, are drawn using Blackwing pencils. All photos, unless indicated, are by the author. All typewriting gets printed on Southworth archive quality paper using a Smith-Corona Silent-Super typewriter from the 1950s. The paper is low-acid, watermarked, and date coded for authentication purposes.)

Topped off at 44 pages for the day. Started off slow, and gradually sped up to where the last few hours went by in a blaze. Completely hypnotized, and doing my best to be tapped into the Universal Subconscious Mind (filtering through thoughts of humanity, searching for the ones that evoke the strongest feeling) all through this beautiful time-machine, the typewriter. Still works great, after all these years of traveling. Such a priceless companion.

Do you have a typewriter story you’d like to share? Please do. The comments are open.
