Bob Marshall's Writing Process

[@PalinuroRex]

The idea of your neighbor hosting a typing party in his veranda with these two warms my heart.

I appreciate this discussion and hearing about this process. My plan is similar. Outline on a portable, first draft on a Royal KMG, mark it up with a pencil, 2nd draft with a typebar electric, mark that up with a pencil, then type it fresh onto a computer and fine tune it from there. This way, I have the beginnings on paper, which is easier to see what's going on, than on a screen. And I can take my time with no pressure on a manual typewriter. The electric typewriter will have some pressure, because it's electric, but by the 2nd draft, I know where I'm going with it. This first draft I'm currently working on is actually a pantser, I had no idea what the story would be, I've just typed and it's come to pass. I've tried for years to write on a computer, and never got far. But on a typewriter, this story has been created and I think it's going to be good. I've tried long-hand, but I usually end up doodling pictures instead of writing. Typewriters really work for me. Thanks for your videos, they are enjoyable.

It's great to see you two discuss the writing process. I love to learn about writer's writing process in such details as to how they set it up themselves. It's also nice to hear about the problems and challenges so it makes it down to earth and not some ethereal dream of how much work it really is. Thanks. Daniel

Sounds like a very productive process! (:

[@typewritermuse]

I wish I could make it more productive ...maybe someday soon.

There's a nail polish color by Essie called "Topless and Barefoot" which is very similar to the NUDE color of Bob's typewriter!

[@TypewriterChicago]

totally get the whole typewriter mechanic owning beater typewriters. most of my machines are very beat with various minor issues. I just want working, I'll spend the time working the good work on someone else's machine

The outstretched arms definitely resemble the arms of a motorcyclist!

[@typewritermuse]

I do ride a lot.

Editing as you is the fatal flaw of the word processor. It destroyed writing.
