“ As a writer, I like that manual typewriters slow me down. I think that word processors tend to make writers lax in what they will allow themselves to write simply because they can commit it to text as quickly as they can think of it. A typewriter forces me to think about my words and be selective before I imprint them on the page. Revising is not so easy when you have to retype an entire page to correct one bad passage. There is also a visual and auditory mental stimulation in hearing the thwack of the keys and seeing tangible words appear. Typewriting makes me invest more in my writing.
