“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

Tolkien's was a beast. Hemmingway referred to his as an automatic weapon. Woody Allen may or may not have gotten his tongue caught in his. Cormac McCarthy resold his for $254,000. Steinbeck's was second fiddle to a seashell ashtray and a pencil. Enjoy Benjamin Law's Typewriters and the Men Who Love Them.
If I had a dime for every time I got my tongue caught in a typewriter...
