Methinks plenty of writers have one of these antiques on display in their house somewhere. A symbol of writing, of being a writer, of the "swing and swirl of words as they tangle with human emotions" as James Michener once put it.
This typewriter sits on a table in the living room of Sheree Fitch's delightful home outside of River John.
Mine sits on a table in my office.
A heavy, tactile reminder that we are -- clickety, clackety, ding! -- writers every day.
