Thank you Josh - and thanks for sharing!

I read your post. Writing a novel draft with pencils - that is impressive! I just might try it. :)

Something zeitgeist-y going on here. This lovely essay from @debwerrlein.bsky.social just hit my inbox: electricliterature.com/ai-cant-gasl...

love this (& those margins)! So funny to read it today when I have a piece coming out tomorrow in Electric Lit about reverting to writing longhand after AI started trying to "help" me write. In it, I fondly remember my typewriter, which I think i'll pull out of the closet for a whirl.

This was my favorite book read in 2024. Just devastating.
