Maybe I’ll also do NaNo on the typewriter this year. Just to be completely insane.

That's what my character is going to do. He'll be sitting on the back porch with his bourbon and Marlboros.

I’m leaning towards my anti-Stephanie Plum story where we have a showdown between the stalk-ee turned stalker and the stalker turned stalk-ee.

I have Maker’s Mark...but I dunno if that’s a proper bourbon for such things.

Heh...there are websites out there with information on the exact typewriters various authors used. Wonder if there’s one that lists the proper alcohol to consume to copy your favorite...

No, no, not Marlboros. How about some hand-stuffed S.J. Rimboche cigarettes to go with the 'shine?

Sounds like something Walker Percy might have said. Have you ever read any of his books? I believe one of his essays was named "Bourbon". One of his novels, "The Thanatos Syndrome" was a VEY good story!
