Parallel invention! Do you want to be Newton or Leibniz?

I'll be honest. Your typewriter has a better enamel finish. :)

I'll take Leibniz. That said, I think the actual typewriter inventors have both of us beat by a fair amount. :)

How has the "typewriter" changed the way that you draft?

Right now I mainly use it in my morning warm-ups: I'll set a timer for five minutes and get as many words down as I can. It's taken some getting used to, but it's definitely helping me learn to Just Write. I plan to start using it for drafting my WIP soon.
