I do it from time to time. Usually just some short notes, but it's not the same for me. I like to write on a machine, maybe because I'm typing on a computer keyboard for a long time. But I do enjoy writing with hand more nowadays. Few years ago I've noticed that I do not write with hand at all, everything was on a computer. So it feels good. Combination of handwriting and typewriter works fine for me. Sometimes, when I don't have note besides me, I write some thought on the phone, because I will forget it otherwise.
You know what the thing is? I'm working with AI, I have developed some features with AI, I love it in some areas. But I think that human creativity will still be the main driving force and more and more people will appreciate when someone use their creativity, that means they think. THINK. We are slowly forgetting to think every now and then, and the reason is that phones, tv and internet are controlling what we should think, and I think that it should be the other way around. For me, good practice is to use AI as a brainstorm machine, when you get stuck, you can write some prompt and maybe out of it get some ideas. Or you can talk to other people, but everyone today is too busy. "Too busy". So you are left with yourself, which means you have to think this way or another.
I personally don't like small screens. I have s smartphone and it suits me well for other purposes, but for writing I want to feel that key hammering the paper, smell of the machine, and vibration they produce whey you type. You are definitely connected to the machine in some way. And while we don't have delete button, the way you think is pretty much different then when you have that delete button.
You need some time to switch from computer keyboard mindset. Even though it's the same thing, typing on a typewriter is completely different experience and the way you type is different. You have to place your hands differently, and get some muscles in the fingers since you have to hammer that key. Especially for ring finger and small one - they are the weakest. But as you type more you become better at it, works for basically everything else in life.
Yes, there some kind of magic there. Probably because it's limited, but you can get what you can't on the computer, at least it's the case for me. I have one rule, just type whatever comes to my mind. It will get complex, as story unfolds, but I don't think about it at all, don't analysing, I just write. It's a good feeling though.
It's about character named Theodor Walkings. I don't know where it came from, but he found the note on the floor with some message and that leads to some new clues, new characters, new mystery. For me, I can't wait to start typing to see what comes next, it's more like I'm reading a book, not writing. I have a feeling that I do not create story, I'm just typing it out. Can't describe the feeling, but it feels good. I always been intuition first logic next, so that's probably the case here. Anyhow, I have written 3 pages in a day. It's not the best story ever but It's fun even for me to re read it :)
I don't know yet the time of the story, is it in the future, past or present. I didn't come to that part yet.
