Wow. I just saw what I think is the winning bid for Cormac McCarthy's Olivetti. $254,500. I. Lost. It. On. The. Last. Bid...
On another subject, I'm struck by the tension realized by typing with the subconcsious (see?) knowledge that I can't correct mistakes. To type 5 million words this way would be rough.

Eventually, you would edit it.
ReplyDeleteTrue, eventually you would edit it. But as a vehicle for first drafts, this is the figurative long board for the big waves. It just feels different. And that I imagine may say something about the way people used to write on manual typewriters. Especially before erasing ribbons were added. Nowadays, people I imagine have been trained to use the delete and/or backspace keys with the same fluid motion as the space key. Or maybe not. I'm just thinking about process on this project.
