There’s not much else you can do with a mechanical typewriter other than think about what words you want to form next.

Yet just as when we speak, we write much better when we think before and while we express ourselves.Īs a student, I bought a typewriter to see if it could help me focus while writing – and it did. The time spent thinking before and while writing was frighteningly low.
