You’ve Come A Long Way Baby!

 

 

My mother said when I was a young kid or preteen there was a time when I had papers scattered all over the floor an associate recalled to me years ago.

I had a total of three typewriters from early childhood to middle childhood to teenage years that lasted until my adulthood.

The first typewriter was a kiddie typewriter with a ribbon and keys that typed letters and words.

The second typewriter was a more grown-up typewriter that I typed on.

The third typewriter was an electric typewriter that I kept and wrote two manuscripts that I both had gotten published.

I would write my literature in longhand in my journal or notebooks then type them up to my satisfaction.

I have come a long way since the days of writing in my bedroom as a young girl sipping hot tea and milk in hopes of becoming a professional writer one day.

The dream came true as writing is one of the things I was born to do.

I have learned from this experience that when something inherent is really meant to be then nothing can stop it.

Electric Typewriter

My mother bought me my first electric typewriter when I was twelve years of age. It was an excellent quality Brother model attractively toned in beige with a black keyboard.

Before then, I had two manual typewriters.

I treasured the gift my mother gave to me as it gave me a productive way to occupy my mind. She purchased the electric typewriter because she knew I liked to write and after creatively experimenting with stories I had invented with my new literary machine I was certain a writer is what I definitely wanted to be when I grew up.

I use to sit up at my dresser in my bedroom sipping hot tea with milk delightfully typing my imagination away!

During my teenage years my mother wanted to buy me a computer, however, I didn’t want one at the time.

I wasn’t interested as I was content writing in long hand on notebook paper then typing my manuscripts up with the use of my electric typewriter.

Then, one day I got surprised when an old neighbor who use to live next door to us purchased me a brand new computer for Christmas.

She had gotten me everything to go along with it. The monitor, the keyboard, speakers and a printer.

Ever since, I don’t understand why I didn’t want a computer from the beginning when my mother had first suggested the idea to me.
