What are your feelings towards writing with a typewriter? I feel that you can better think about the permanence of your intended emotions to the page with a typewriter. The noise of the clattering keys seems to be a motivational one, allowing silence only for deep thought. You can't delete and there's the fantastic benefit of no internet (or even electricity!) to distract you.
But every time I say this to someone they laugh and call me a hipster. They think it's a gimmick. Granted, I could get the similar action by writing everything by hand, but somehow it's not as forceful. Plus my handwriting is horrendous and often causes confusion.

It has to be cool because Hank uses one in Californication, ask those people who call you a hipster if they would rather like you to sit in a starbucks with your macbook writing stupid short stories like everyone nowadays. Use what fits best for you and if a typewriter is your canalisator go and buy one.

I bought my one for £6 in a charity shop. There was one fault which is now fixed which was the little bell didn't chime. Now it does.

I too like the portability of small notebooks. I name them in volumes, currently on Vol. 3.

It makes an assload more noise than I'd expect one to make.

There are good reasons to use one, and there are faggot hipster reasons. Editing being more difficult is objectively bad unless you're some hyper ADD sperg that can't write to consecutive sentences without dozens of rewrites each. Motivational clatter? Total hipster bull. Being off the internet is good, but you could just as easily us an old machine with no wifi or disable your wifi yourself.

How about you faggots just buy a laptop and stop being so cringe inducing.
