So I think I might buy a typewriter

So I think I might buy a typewriter.

Not because I think it looks good - if it were so, I'd write on paper, because it loks better - but rather because the computer is so distracting, so awful, and so annoying.

I think I need an object which can be associated 100% with writing, something which just by being looked at will already give me ideas.

Does any of you own one? Also, are there any suprises that you've had after buying one? Anything you didn't expect? Any good aspect? Any bad aspects? Please answer.

I only think the absence of the delete function might end up being a little irritating for me. I write (formal, metrefied) poetry, so I have to correct words dozens, sometimes maybe even more than 100 times before I am satisfied.

buy the fedora too!

It won't work. Someone who isn't a writer can't magically buy something arcane and be a writer.

Think about it. You'll spend a few minutes on your typewriter then move to your computer.

Typewriters are shit and offer zero advantages.
Buy a chromebook, boot it with Ubuntu, install your favorite word processor. Its what I did and its better in every way.

Buy one of those $200 hipster writing machines. At least then you won't have to transcribe or OCR scan your shit.

You can come up with a million excuses and answers for them, but in the end, you will just make more.

Why do you assume things about me which you do not actually know?

A craftsman can buy a tool to make him a better craftsman.
