In my dreams I am the fictional version of myself. The one I seek to be in my short-stories and prose. The one who gets her point across...

if I did, I'd never get anything done on time lol.

ReplyDeleteI started off at age eleven typing on an old Underwood my grandpa gave me. I typed incredibly fast with two fingers.........for decades, while one key after another fell off. I resisted the computer and word processor, but what a revelation once I switched over........no more White-Out by the gallon!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids remember going to sleep and waking up to the sound of me banging away on the keys.......thanks for the memories:)
