< [[tch tch >>schkt >>[[tch tch]]>>schkt>> ting! the simple joy of typewriting ^¥^
A typewriter would ~ w o n d e r f u l l y ~ match your style.
I tried getting the last word to show across the page the way you do, but I don't know how you manage. The trailing whitespace was omitted in the formatting.
And I hope you find a mechanical typewriter. My mother keep the one she used when she went to university. I spent many a night writing on it. I was amazed to find out that ink ribbons are still being sold to this day! Otherwise, well, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with it.
I am also inclined to the "old word processor" attitude. I have been putting this off, but I -I mean it this time!- am planning to install plan9 on my little laptop, which I will keep as a strictly offline device, and use the acme editor to ... write, write, write! The aesthetic of acme, and the fact that there is --NO WEB BROWSER-- amounts to the best possible computing experience, for me.
Some time ago I realized, the whole range of my needs in terms of structuring information is simple: a hierarchical filesystem (even FAT is good enough), and plaintext files (best done with UTF-8 because I use many languages!).

borrow from the internet
i definitely have thought about
how this'll translate to a tyepwriter
i'll definitely have to be more patient
i'm sure, but it'll be awesome to see
it translated to a typewriter
i'm with you on simple and plaintext
it's why i buy cheap notebooks and
bic pens
i like what you can do with the barest
cheapest materials
