I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success. -- Tennessee Williams
I am amazed; until the day I die I shall wonder how Whittaker Chambers got into my house to use my typewriter. -- Alger Hiss
I can relate to your thinking on this. My "better" typecasts are composed either by hand (fountain pen in comp book, or on iAWriter on ipad), then typed (as if the typewriter were a printing press). But at other times I'm rushed, and compose directly to typewriter, in which case I can usually tell because (like in this response) it seems hurried and ill-composed.
