Saw this portable typewriter today, there is something charming about seeing one of these, and hearing the tickety tick of the keys as the roller moves backwards for you to manually move it back just made me smile and think of how it must feel to be a writer. I do have fun playing at writing now and again, makes me feel like a child again although this time not playing with dolls!

He had planned and perfected everything in his head, the scene had been set and he wanted to make sure his message was just right. Things were just beginning all over again, he felt angry, he wanted revenge but he had to be calm, to make sure nothing would go wrong.

I love Dexter (the show) too...and those images...definitely Murder She Wrote with a little artistic flair!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I loved playing with my Mom's typewriter. When my daugher was 9 we bought her a toy one that really worked, and she and her sister played "office" for hours.
