P.S. Please forgive the unstructured error-prone nature of this, as structure and accuracy are not the point. The idea is to allow the brain and fingers to get reacquainted with one another before the work day begins. It’s like caffeine for the creative process, and what I write during these exercises is different every day. As it should be 😊
What kind of typewriter are you writing on? Good piece btw.

I’m curious to know what others you have. My house is filled with Royals, Remington, and Underwood.
