I write fiction at night, am almost always hungry, and am still working on that cure for procrastination... Elephantine is about finding beautiful objects and reporting the daily minutiae.
I love getting email.
Posts about inspiration, however, do borrow photos from other sites. If I've used one of your photos and you'd like it removed, please just let me know.

Photos as promised: this is the typewriter that now sits on my dining room table, occupying the space that has been used for actual dining only two or three times. Punching the keys is very satisfying, as is the confident ding! at the end of each line. There is no key for 1 (I searched for a good solid minute) but I think I can manage – the I will be on double duty. It is a Smith-Corona Sterling from the 1940's, and it is all mine mine mine.

LOVE IT!! I want one! My only question is, will you worry about where to buy replacement tape when it runs out? Or do you not anticipating using it enough to really have to worry about having to replace the tape?
