Kent Peterson told me a story, well in this case it is not really a story but it sounds nice to start this with that assertion.
Kent Peterson told me a story about Issac Asimov having a bunch of typewriters, Selectric as the case was, anyway a bunch of typewriters of which each one had a function. The first one was for the novel he was working on. The next one was for a short story in progress. Then there was one for correspondence. (All I really know here is that there are or were a bunch of Selectric and at least one of them was dedicated to the novel at work. That all sounds good to well I hope to many of you. You have three, four, or many more typewriters. Load ‘em up with paper. Fine a thing to type on each typewriter. My Royal KMM, standard platen, becomes my One Typed Page machine. My International Hermes 3000 is for correspondence, especially for Spanish and Esperanto.
If you give this method a try please let me know how it works out for you.
Side note: according to Wikipedia Asimov typed at 90 wpm. What a pace!
April showers bring May flowers. Or so they say. What brings April flowers? We have a bunch of them, especially tulips.
Fair Warning Time: the bit about Asimov and his Selectric collection that comes to you via my second-hand telling of Kent’s tale. I asked Kent where he found out about Asimov and the Selectric, Kent got right back to me. He read it in Asimov’s autobiography. You need to trust the source here.
