    Here's an idea that I'm currently doing: Get a ream of A5 paper (Kokuyo is a good brand to look for), and every day write a short single diary page with whatever thoughts you have. Very simple fomat of date on top, and paragraphs below.
    You might write about what happened that day, or an idea you had, anything goes. The goal is to type up a single page every day.
    Doing it on A5 paper makes it less intimidating and doesn't feel "empty" if you don't have a lot to write that day.

    The devilish costume was adorable. I love that you are pushing yourself to use all of your typewriters. I got a secondary typewriter to help me develop my short film script. I'm not a writer either but am trying to develop it as a skill. I use 'Tipp-Ex' sheets for corrections, and I bought a keyboard cleaning kit which is great at removing the excess white flakes on my original machine.

    I have never used a typewriter, and up until now have had zero interest in using one. I'm guessing that your channel was recommended to me because my favorite lame interest is a related vintage writing option - fountain pens. But your videos are very well made, articulate, researched, and interesting, and I love your use of stop-motion animation to showcase the finer angles of your favorite models. I've seen about a dozen of them so far, and been enjoying every one. Well done! My wife may literally kill me if fall down another rabbit hole on top of my fountain pen obsession, but you've definitely piqued my interest.
    In a digital age it can be really hard to find reasons to write manually, and I have the same struggle finding reasons to use fountain pens every day. But I always find it rewarding when I put in the work to spend some time journaling or taking notes by hand or drawing a small doodle.

    I really like your soundtracks!
    I'm not a writer either, but I write stuff all the time, usually in Notes or TextEdit, sometimes even the Terminal.
    I didn't seriously consider a typewriter until I had worked out a good text-on-paper-to-computer workflow, so I could put what I type into Notes or TextEdit or whatever.
    I sure like that Royal Model 10.

    Before I became a Keyboard Specialist, I learned typewriting on an antique Underwood typewriter. I used a soft-covered book titled, "Learn Touch Typewriting in Three Easy Lessons." Once I tried it, I liked typewriting ever since. That is why I could not work in a job where there is no typewriter-like keyboard on the premises. I bought my first portable typewriter which was an Underwood Olivetti Lettera 32 in 1971. I did typewrite some of my homework assignments for high school. I graduated from there in June 1971. Unfortunately, my typewriter was stolen from my first apartment in March 1977. Oh, how I miss that typewriter very much! My first favorite typewriter was the IBM Selectric. Its keys have just the perfect touch. Today, I use a Dell Inspiron microcomputer, and do some keyboarding tasks by using various software programs that are packed in Microsoft Office 2021 Professional. My own business is business productivity. I call my Dell computer my "keyboard," because the microcomputer is my powerful typewriter. I wish I could collect typewriters, but my apartment is too small for me to store a collection of typewriters. Using a different typewriter every day or changing typewriters makes you flexible on the job. I bid you "Happy Keyboarding!"

    Hi! I loved this video! It's such a great exercise. You say you're not a writer, not a poet, and that you aren't good at creative writing, but I disagree! Your ideas were so original and your eye for finding new things to write on, and then your ideas for the poems to go along with them, was brilliant. I particularly liked the poem at 6:40. I think it's wonderful. I'm not a big poetry person myself, but I'm trying to explore and find what I like. Your poem stood out where many others don't. I majored in English with a focus in Creative Writing, and I have to say, your ability to write creatively rivals that of my peers. If you haven't yet, I think it would be awesome if you published that poem. I think people would love it.

    I really enjoyed getting to peek at all your typewriters! You have amassed a great collection. ❤️
    The 'giant' spider made me laugh. Oh goodness. :)
    I like that you type on unusual surfaces, and you made me want to go to Dunkin Donuts. 🍩 The reason I bought my first typewriter was for junk journaling. I like your reuse it/use it for another purpose approach to the paper that comes your way.
    I am interested in your Type In stationery. Did you create that yourself? Have you done a video on that before?
    Well done and have a great day. :)

I wish they'd stick .. the only thing I ever named was my Neato Robot Vacuum .. his name was Russel, he had a sticker from the Russel automotive wire harness company on him :) .. I don't wanna sticker up my (up to 4) type writers just to name them .. SIGH ..

    NaNoWriMo is my favorite thing to do. I wrote 219,092 words in like 5 projects (anyone who knows about NaNoWriMo knows the goal is 50,000) but I think this was fabulous and that as most writers seam to agree that it dosn’t material what you write. So if poetry and lists and notes and all sorts of things works for you then I hope you enjoyed writing in November for NaNoWriMo. For me I enjoy the community, the graphs and just writing.

    It’s funny. You say you’re “not a writer” but, Sarah, I think actually you are. Only you’re not one in your head. You have all the tools a writer has (and that includes creativity and talent). Forget the writing for a moment; look at how you use (and adore) words, and how you speak. You just have to write them down, silly!
    Maybe consider taking a writing class. I suspect you have before, but that was previous Sarah; not Sarah today. Maybe you were not a writer when you were 10 or 17 or once upon a time, but I strongly suspect you are one now. You just don’t see yourself that way.
    Me? I’m a pretty good copywriter (a writer who writes ads and commercials) who, for years, told myself yeah, but you’re not a REAL writer. So I took a class to find out and… guess what? I can write!
    So think about it. I took my class at Gotham Writers Workshop here in NYC (and no, I have no connection with them, except as a student). Many of their classes are on Zoom; some little exercises are absolutely free! And, of course, there must be writing classes near you. Enough of this “I’m not a writer” nonsense!
