By the way, as I’m doing the necessary research, I am absolutely falling in love with Chinese and Japanese, and the histories behind their writing systems. I had no idea. You could spend your whole life studying those, and it would be a life well spent.

Whoa, I just managed to write “weather” in Japanese using a romaji keyboard, a hiragana keyboard, and by drawing the kanji shapes directly on my trackpad. It took me a few hours to get there, giving me a net speed of about… 0.02 wpm. But I feel rather accomplished! AMA.pic.twitter.com/Pb4Wqhc0qf

When I started working on this book, I had no idea I would end up in a Cyber Monday shopping guide – particularly before the book is even finished! http://www.munidiaries.com/2017/11/27/your-super-local-very-sf-cyber-monday-guide … 0_O

So at a house party yesterday, someone used my Canon Cat to write a story in which I was a… dragon, complete with a drawing. The cat itself makes an appearance, too. I basically could not be happier right now.pic.twitter.com/pSChnTRxFx

The log of my friends trying all sorts of keyboards connected to my computer this weekend reads like someone rather quickly losing their mind.pic.twitter.com/MZZDc549Ed

Just scanned three hundred pages of a doctoral thesis on the typewriter industry. My left arm hurts. Will upload to Internet Archive in a few days. (Huge thanks to the amazing Prelinger Library for allowing me to use their scanner!)pic.twitter.com/fiTrJUh6U1

After a careless introduction of a key puller at my party my precious writing keyboard looks like this now. The red key is not even the right profile and is sticking out… but I’m embracing this for the next chapter. We’ll see if it has much less of the letter “n” than others.pic.twitter.com/UneivR8SwH

Learning that how I feel *before* writing a chapter can be unrelated to how I feel *while* writing it. Struggled so much with coming up with structure for this one and dreaded it, and yet it is so much fun to write – plus, of course, I completely changed the structure already.pic.twitter.com/9YBC2y5gr4

Haha what a fun notepad. I feel like I’d stress me out subconsciously that somehow my notes aren’t being saved.
