31 Points, Typewriter Hunter

I live in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia where I write, mountain bike and search for typewriters. I'm relatively new to collecting and am doing my best to keep it smallish, which, as you know, is not easy. I gravitate toward interesting-to-me post WWII standards and portables. I am a writer and find typewriters to be fantastic for focused work, plus I love the calming orderliness of the keyboard and the meditative tapping of the slugs on paper. Writing novels doesn't allow for regular feedback, so it's nice seeing the physical pages pile up as I go. People talk about how amazing modern mobile phones are in that we have a computer in our pocket, and they're not wrong, but having a printing machine you can carry around is pretty amazing too. Especially when your handwriting is as illegible as mine.
