minus-squareHemingways_Shotgun@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoAn electronic typewriter that my parents bought when I was entering highschool in the early 90s. While my first works of fiction we’re not written on it, my first fiction I ever submitted (it was rejected btw) to a publisher was. I wouldn’t get successfully published until the late 90s/early 00s after I had built my first PC out of scrap parts and a cheap copy of windows 95. But that typewriter still holds a special place in my heart.
