Procrastination: Typewriter Edition

So today, instead of getting started on my homework, I looked at pictures of typewriters on the internet.


Why, you ask? How did I get there? 

Well, I started out somehow finding Script Frenzy, the script-writing version of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Apparently it starts today, and lasts for the month of April, and you have to write 100 pages total of a script or screenplay (or multiple scripts or screenplays) within that time limit in order to "win". There's no prize, and no one actually has to read your script if you don't want them to. It's just a way to motivate writers to actually get writing.


So. I thought maybe I should do it. 


Especially since I have two unfinished scripts cooking in the back of my brain--one for a radio play, one for a movie (length TBD), that I really need to finish. The radio play needs to be done before the school year ends, because it needs to air before the school year ends. 


In other words, Script Frenzy is the perfect excuse for me to finish this radio play ASAP. And to possibly also work on the more long-term movie project.


So I registered for Script Frenzy. The website has a picture of a typewriter on it. That reminded me of how cool typewriters are. Which made me try to find a picture of mine on Google, because I don't actually have a picture of my own typewriter. And then I got lost in the magical and infinite land of the internet.


Some of the gems I found:
