Her Noisy Typer app was working perfectly. Despite the silicone skin lying protectively over her laptop keyboard, the nostalgic clacking of letters materializing across her screen was comforting.
Too bad the words were complete twaddle. How she longed for the days when she could rip out the offending paper from the carriage, wadding it into a tight angry ball of frustration and fling it with righteous indignation in a waiting trash can.
If only closing the laptop could erase the atrociously mundane sentences from her memory. Any attempts at writing were a blinking neon sign, taunting and mocking her.

There really is an app that gives your laptop that old typewriter sound. Sorry, you still have to hit the keys yourself.

That was fabulous! My favorite was the visual of throwing that wad of paper. Been there! Great work.

LOL, I bet Apple will add that as a sound effect to their next word processor program…I can’t see Microsoft being clever enough 😉

crunching up a sheet of paper and whipping it across the room does offer one a bit of relief. Nice typewriter pic – your typewriter I assume.

Lol, I remember plucking away at those high keys and ripping the paper out. Oh and using white out and having to backspace over the keys. hehe. But now…. one would have to throw the keyboard or laptop or iPad across the room and to what use?
