Was it Annie Dillard who said, "Write as if your hair is on fire." Love the typewriter. When I saw your log line (no pun intended) I thought you were going to say something about writing so furiously that the typewriter/computer caught on fire from the speed of it all. There is a movie where the pianist is playing ragtime and the strings start to smoke from the ferosity of his playing.
Anyway, thank you for Holiday wishes. May we have peace, prosperity and harmony in this country and in the world. Loren

Hi Loren - Yes, I think it was Annie Dillard. Whoever - what a great quote!

I keep coming back to the picture! I wish my journalist dad could have seen the exhibit! He knew just what a burning typewriter was all about! It's all he had for more than 40 years in the newspaper business.

Must steal pic immediately. Thank you!

This typewriter looks so much like the one that I wrote my college essays on! I have a friend who has one like this hanging on his wall as art. I love the way it looks, but I must admit that for actually writing, a computer is superior.
Posted by: Susan Adcox | September 26, 2009 at 10:31 AM
I want that piece for my living room. Or maybe I need it in my office.
