Suzanne took the page out of the beat-up old typewriter. Piece of junk. Not worth fixing. She couldn’t image putting up with such a quaint monstrosity. Never.
She was bored. What could you do while stuck at home? She found the ancient beast. She tried her hand at an acrostic about social distancing. Yuck. She tried using every letter in a paragraph. Boring.
In desperation, she even tried Friday Fictioneers. ;)

Thanks. If you’ve played with a non-electric typewriter recently, you may totally sympathize ;)

I haven’t! It’s probably been 40 years. I’m guessing if they don’t get oiled once in awhile it could get pretty bad.

Imagine, Friday Fictioneers typed on a typewriter and posted through the snail mail system. Posted with first class stamps, naturally.

If I had to send it out to everyone on the list, it might get expensive, but perhaps Rochelle would post it for me ;) (post = put on WP, not post = “to mail”…)

I know. My grandfather had one. I tried to learn typing on it as a kid but the glitches it had just drove me nuts.

Dear Trent,
I laughed out loud at the last line. Great second dip! Quirky. Well-written. Enchanting. Rich. Terrific. Yahoo!
Shalom and stay motivated,
Rochelle

Desperate times call for desperate measures… ;) Obviously my double dip was inspired by your double dip, though I think I saw one or two other “qwert”s before I sat down and wrote it out.

It’s nice, when unavoidably restricted, even to find a good use for the dreaded qwerty.

I have seen a few FF uses of qwerty this week, so I just had to have a character do it…
