It just takes more time away from reading and writing

Like a scribe from the past, McMurtry continues to use a manual typewriter — a Hermes 3000. Unabashedly a dinosaur in the world of technology, he has never used a computer, written an e-mail or done research using Google.

“It just takes more time away from reading and writing,” he said. “The only way I have managed to improve anything is by typing it over. I do three drafts, which is usually enough.”

(Herding Words)

Il y a une douce ironie — ou bien est-elle amère? — à  poster cette citation sur mon blog, mentionnée par Jeff Abbott, après l’avoir lue sur Internet. Bon, c’est dit: Je coupe le Web, et j’écris… Après avoir vérifié mon mail et parcouru Twitter une dernière fois 😉
