I
have to admit I am thankful for the computer for one main reason, I used to
burn through so much paper when I wrote. I could only erase so often before I
would tear a hole through the paper. The old manual typewriter was fun unless of
course I wound up with my finger missing the button and getting caught between
two keys getting pinched.
I’ve
always loved writing and I couldn’t help that feeling when I finally finished
my first book. It felt so good to finish the story after so many problems along
the way. I’m sure many other writers have dealt with this to some degree. I had
lost my original story several times. I had first written the story on a manual
typewriter. When I could no longer find the ribbon being sold in the stores I
had planned on moving everything from my papers onto my brother typewriter, the
ones that finally stored information. Instead my original manuscript wound up
in the trash by accident with other loose papers. The first brother typewriter
had liquid dropped on it so I lost my manuscript again. Also going through three computer viruses and
simply deleting the wrong file. Each time I’ve rewritten it and thankfully
because of it I’ve done better every time.
