Funny you should mention him. Wikipedia: “Foote did all his writing by hand with an old-fashioned dipped pen, disdaining the typewriter.”

I’ve often threatened to go back to the quill, at least for the first draft. Have a pile of notebooks and a large number of pens. No quills, but some long peacock feathers in a vase on my desk—if worst come to worst, I’ll sacrifice one

I liked the rotary phone too…my new Galaxy5 is making me CRAZY. (I should say at this point that I’m writing futuristic science fiction.)

But no. It’s more like, “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again…..”
