Is it a note-taking station? Is it a decoration only? Is it your regular journal? Is it a shopping list maker? Is it on display or tucked away?

I use mine to quickly write down ideas, so that I don’t get distracted by other things on a computer or have to wait for a computer to boot up. Other than that it’s a conversation piece and a decoration.

Edit, I forgot to include, I have a Royal like the one below. It was the cheapest one at the antique store, and it has worked perfectly for the 10+ years I’ve owned it.

    Thanks, you can tell it really got under my skin because I bothered to center my type, I don’t like centering my type. It’s a removed to center type, lol

    But yeah very novel right now, like the other comment mentions choice of stationary, I like using cotton paper. Really leaves an impression.

        I get my lines character count, tab to center (or -10, -20 tab) then backspace to the right count. If I think it’ll make it look cleaner I sometimes mix a double space in or ignore punctuation marks from my count, I don’t mind them hanging past the rest like I would an M.

        PS I thought I remembered messing it up right after I started and sure enough if you look at line three of that picture it’s pretty out there lol
