I don’t think I’ve ever put up any good photos of my typewriter. It’s a Remington Rand which I found on ebay in India a couple of years back. Fully working, great unevenly inked text, round keys, good satisfying sound — everything that screams “typewriter!” in big monospaced fonts.

As for nanowrimo, I didn’t even make a dent it in (7500 words), and this was not just because of my laziness and indecision vis a vis plot, but also the untimely appearance of some deadlines (at least they were paying projects). So, I may not have bragging rights for another year, but I have one more novel to write.

That brings me up to around 3.7 lifetimes-worth of work left to do.

Five more pictures after the jump. Click ‘read more’ kids.
