Chris Nicholson's Writing Weblog
June 19, 2009 • Friday
Today I read about a great piece of software: A typewriter program.
No, it's not a word processor. It doesn't allow you to delete, to copy, to paste. It doesn't allow you to do anything a classic typewriter couldn't do.
You can type. You can print. (The one modern feature is that you can save.) Your computer basically becomes a $1,000 typewriter.
The idea is that the restrictions typewriters impose force you to write more carefully, to think more linearly and logically while crafting text. Neat idea.
To read more about this freeware, see Typewriter: Minimal Text Editor.
