I don't think it would be fast enough for writing a story (for me). But I hope to use it for smaller things. Give it a personal touch. Like thank you letters to schools.

And award winning speeches...lol

It would be a cool flex to respond to something with a letter written on a typewriter.

A typewriter might be good for all the extra writing you need to do around a story, like using it as a brain dump for history, character profiles, and settings. I feel like a typewriter being distraction free and forcing you to commit to what you're writing would help you just get things down instead of faffing about with editing

I definitely can't jump on social media on a typewriter too.
