QWERTY love, It's Typewriter Day

Qwirky, QWERTY Love: It’s Typewriter Day!

Last year I wrote a love letter to my typewriter and I want to share it with you.
When I composed the letter, I included as many typewriter terms and sounds as possible:

- keystroke
- typebar
- tap
- bing!
- bell
- return
- click
- carriage
- ribbon
- spooling
- shifting
- cap lock
- margin
- royal (Royal)
- space bar

Each typewriter has a different touch on the keyboard and unique bell tone. I typed the love letter on my Olivetti Lettera 35 (with great care ... nearly holding my breath, straight through, with no mistakes...whew!).

Do you have a typewriter? What do you write on your typewriter? The manuscript for a book? Poetry? Love letters? I write lots of letters ... and sometimes, love letters.

p.s. What is QWERTY love? QWERTY comes from the first five letters on the upper left of the keyboard. The term is used to identify the standard layout on an English language keyboard. I do love my typewriter(s)!
