I love this! I'm also a typewriter maven. I write my all my first drafts on typewriters, then transfer to MS word for rewrite & editing phase. When I'm on typewriter I can wail away. I slow down when editing and the rewrite. Writing first drafts on typewriters is my version of Hemingway's dictum: Write drunk, editor sober.
The desk was his late in life and it is not where he wrote the “Four Quartets” or “The Waste Land.” I wonder where his typewriters are now? “He wrote mainly at a typewriter placed on a high stand, so that he stood up to write. Once, when he was queried about this rather odd habit, he replied, ‘It is a mystery to me how anyone can write poetry except on a typewriter.’”
