I love that someone was looking for a typewrite to hear the clacking of the keys! Thank you for the smile. I like to write letters to friends old and new. Everyone likes to receive a missive in their mailbox. I know that I do. The best part of writing a letter is knowing the person will read without distraction, just as you wrote it. It's a very intimate way of conversing. I think that's where "Dear Diary" comes from maybe, the idea of your having an intimate conversation and being able to write/type it all out. I write for pleasure and for the joy of it ~ especially on the days when it is painful to write, those may be the days I need it the most.
