about the truck driver. I was envious when I read about the papers! We English types must have genetic code similarities.
What gets me going is just the sight of a pen. I love commercials with writing in them, like the ones on TV where the typing goes across the screen. It's even better if there's a sound effect that goes with the typing, like the clack of keyboard keys or the pounding of typewriter keys.
I also like print ads with handwriting on them. Picture a full-page glossy magazine ad with what looks like a Post-it note and handwriting on it. (And while this is slightly off-topic, did you know that ads with handwriting in them increase readership by 35 per cent?)
The sight of a typewritten page with edits and marks all over it makes me happy. Students (I'm an English teacher, too) are always so concerned about marks on their papers. "Do you want me to type this over?" or "Should I get you a new print-out?" Ink-stained wretch that I am, I always say, sleeves rolled up, "Oh, no! This is just part of being a writer!"
I'm glad you posted links from your web site. One time I wanted to refer to it and spent all kinds of time looking for it. I bookmarked it.
