Another wonderful video, Joe. I hate that MS Word (and its kin) are always chastising me for my frequent neologisms. Sometimes the exact right word doesn't spring immediately to mind while I'm typing, so I create one. I can always fix it later. A typewriter or graphite pencil doesn't judge me when I take these liberties.
Why not create your own words in such situations? A lot of words we use today were created by William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. I mean, Dr.Suess made it a feature of his writing.
I use journals to brainstorm a plotline, ideas, themes, names and ideas that come at the time for a story then use that as a reference when typing the actual story.
I started using fountain pens in 2022 and i love it! I'd rather write by hand than type but i'll take a Selectric over a laptop anyday. The "i" key on my MacBook is sticking at the moment. OH and for all interested, i'm having a Xmas Card Exchange (worldwide) on my channel this year. I will announce it soon 👍
Well, Joe, this video has just made my weekend. Thank you so much for sharing TypeTown. I try to make it either entertaining or thought-provoking, and I'm glad you're still reading and enjoying it. Thanks again. Neil
I loved this video. When you started reading, it was a great example of how you insert edits or make them. Beautiful honestly. I did notice you that you use a lot of commas, and go run on in your sentences. Now, that is not at all a critic or meant negatively, because the way you described things was beyond excellent. It was more of a surprise to me, because I always try to fit what I am saying to religiously into a good sentence and paragraph structure, hyper-vigilant of the overused comma. But again as you said, you never really know when to stop editing. Nevertheless, I really appreciate all these videos and this one in particular. It helped me to realize that it could cut off my creativity to be too focused on the grammar as I write. I subscribed and can’t wait for more. May you be successful and content in all your endeavors. P.S. The way you described the process of that specific writer, is almost exactly what I do. I usually write it out and edit maybe a few pages, and then I will type it up and perfect that portion. I usually only do this to get started though, after I have hand-written a few pages, edited them and transferred them to a typewriter or computer. I then continue the rest of the work on something electronic.
I personally prefer to write by hand then type. My goal is to come up with a project that involves the way you do it. To let my fingers loose on a typewriter and see what comes out. But pen and paper are my go to. The typewriter makes it look nice and as my handwriting is terrible helps others to understand what's on the page. Loved this video and will be checking out that book when I get the chance.
This is a very thoughtful and well-done tutorial you've done. I can especially identify with the area of self-assessment and editing as I write. I don't think I ever once wrote a draft for any school paper I submitted. I edited as I went for fear of losing the continuity of thought if I too completely segregated myself from the mood of my original thoughts.
I usually write my abstract by hand and then attempt to translate it to the computer. Usually a few sentences scribbled in a notebook become a few pages in the word processor. Sometimes I will start writing a though in a notebook and I find it is already so fleshed out in my head I have to stop writing and type the rest because its ready for the keyboard.
Try voice recording your voice through a voice recorder and via a voice recorder on your phone or you cam transfer one to the other medium. You can then transfer what you have recorded to your computer and write down the recording down on paper. Also you can record your hand writen notes or use your recoder for notes from books as well. On a side note you can make a commonplace book with your voice recodeings.
@@Joe_VanCleave The other idea that I have thought of is video recording yourself with the same intention as mentioned with the other idea of course you can modify it.
Greetings from Dhaka, Bangladesh! Thank you for your thoughtful, and also insightful take on the writing process. Loved this video. I also like the name of the title of your book: Loser's Blend.
ARE YOU THERE JOE? I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU REPIRING TYPEWRITTERS. I'M DISABLED FROM AN ACCIDENT AT BIRTH. BUT MY MIND IS PERFECT. WHY DO I TYPED IN ALL CAPS. I TYPE WITH A HEADPOINTER. LIKE HUNT & PECK. COLLAGE GRADUATE. I';M 70 YEARS OLD ANXD VERY ALERT. I'VE HAD MANY TYPEWRITTERS IN MY AND ENJOIED ALL OF THEM, STAY CREATIVE.

A great defence of imperfections- Well said Joe!

Your channel is a treasure sir!
I am at a loss for words! I will think about your video.
If you had goose bumps when thinking fallowed by widening in your sinuses, know that the inspiration of creativity descending on you

@@michaelcutler6118 Yes, then you could post the video to RUclips, post the audio as a podcast and the text as a blog article!
Thanks for the inspiration

Very good video.👍.
Some people write on books that they are reading. I underline.
I 👍 paper.
I 👍 Ernest Hemingway books and its real life. In Cuba they keep his state.
