#writing machine

[shlockstones]

I’ve rewatched LOTR II yesterday with a friend, and Sam’s speech at Osgiliath got me again. I typed it on the writing machine, and did some painting around it (with a paper that is NOT meant for watercolor, hence the very light colours and effect, plus i was super lazy to use too much time on everything). I think it highlights the text in a nice way.

Original drawing that i copied is on Pinterest, though i didn’t find its illustrator.

She could describe the whole process of composing a novel, from the general directive issued by the Planning Committee down to the final touching-up by the Rewrite Squad. But she was not interested in the finished product. She 'didn't much care for reading,' she said. Books were just a commodity that had to be produced, like jam or bootlaces.

Orwell, 1984

was this the first echo of AI generated text in literature? The excerpt is From Julia’s POV who worked on the machines that wrote Novels…

Hey, remember when I ranted about this thing when it was announced?

Well... I've got it now.

Yay?

This is the first crowdfunding campaign reward for electronics I ever received.

I gotta admit, for all the problems I have with this...

It feels nice to hold and looks nice to look at.

Its deliberately built-in impediments to editing are explicitly hostile to my writing process, which for the only English-specific dedicated word processor on the market is KIND OF A PROBLEM, but I'm glad this thing exists nonetheless and I hope these folks the best of success.

I do intend to give this the best chance my lifestyle and writing style allow.

My aunt gifted it to me and my dad helped me clean it and oil it. It still has some ink so I can start using it for a while

Look at it. It's beautiful.

New theory: the Brandon Sanderson tag team

@usernamesaresohardimconflicted and I came up with this: Brandon Sanderson made a clone of himself and at any given moment, one clone is writing, and the other is spending time with his family and living a healthy life. And they tag team to keep things balanced.
