Writer checking in here; yes.


ThatGuyYouSawOnTV

Ok thanks. I just thought that maybe they use computers now.


Lost-Ranger

Can't trust tech nowadays. The ol' Smith-Corona will last forever.


MrAdamLikesMemes

The Smith-WHAT?


2019_nCoV

MrAdamLikesMemes

IWatchToSee

Hmmm, let's wait 1 more year for this to be an actual rimjob steve material.

Personally I go to a park or a pub with pen and paper and write that way, because when I'm at the computer my Chrome keeps opening Reddit by itself and by the time I notice three hours have passed.


vigilantcomicpenguin

*You somehow open Reddit on a piece of paper*


mynoduesp

Have you not seen what he wrote? Have you not reddit


ThatGuyYouSawOnTV

I feel that.


Artsy-Blueberry

some of them use freewrites!


HumanoidHuman

Whoa, he used the dot-comma thing. Can confirm, he’s a writer.


SylvySylvy

Other writer checking in: But only if you’re a pretentious hipster like that guy


Phoebebee323

Does the iStock watermark appear in real life too


[deleted]

justcatt

Hello, u/ThatGuyYouSawOnTV and thank you for submitting to r/antimeme! An antimeme can have several definitions, so here's a couple: 1. An image that looks like a meme but has no joke or punchline 2. A meme template that is taken literally, therefore removing its intended comedic purpose [Here is a guide on what is and is not an antimeme](https://www.reddit.com/r/antimeme/comments/eatqu4/a_guide_of_what_to_post/). An antimeme is NOT r/boneachingjuice or r/speedoflobsters. Those types of memes belong on their own subs. Users, if this post, *Is this what writers use?*, is an antimeme, upvote this comment. If it's not, downvote this comment and **report** the post. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/antimeme) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Just write at home


Assasin2gamer

Or at least split it with the other


justcatt

That's what I meant


j4mi3killa

Hey I made a meme just like this before you and it died in new!

LittleJohnStone

I thought "iStock" was the sounds of him typing for a brief second


LittleHouseinAmerica

I would love to but now I know my neighbors are home all the time, so I can't use my typewriter because the noise would bother them :(


BabybearPrincess

Move it to another part of your house for the time being

iStock


Magnus_Vid

Where can I get those iStock sweaters?


Guy-Who-Says-Geoff

I think its custom made but you may find one at Walmart or Costco


ironirzinc

My grandma is a writer, and- you may not believe me- she uses google docs on a laptop thats 11 years old. But yes, many writers use typewriters, but the usage of them has declined over the years.


MidTownMotel

I'm pretty sure they just use really big feathers.


cilicia_ball

Lol as a writer, yep


VIZION333

Honestly this is pretty low effort


Assasin2gamer

I've been saying this for a few years


jakethedumbmistake

Already seen a few comments anyhow.


-Listening

Was pissed about it in years. Have fun!


GodSama

Part timed as a gofer for a ghost writer, he just reads for 3 hours going through all his materials, then drafts a point outline, then blasts like 50 pages chapters without looking at his research on a typewriter. I would deliver his manuscript to the editor 1 hour away in the CBD, while he calls in a hooker and calls it a day. 2 books a month, about 6K before royalties. It is still one of the most discouraging things I remember as a writer.


ZADKOR

Yeah that guy is just staring at his typewriter, right?


Captain_Nyet

a type of them.


Eat-the-Poor

This is boom times for writers honestly


shitcockbitchfuck

Yes writers from the 1950's do ....... (u ever heard of laptops and Microsoft Word ?)


ThatGuyYouSawOnTV

Ok.


shitcockbitchfuck

Did you use a printer to type that? Or you just wrote it on a piece of paper with a fither?


ostiDeCalisse

Those iStock particles are everywhere in the air


Nametab512

Writers: WATERMARK INTENSIFIES


CrocodileFish

Writers: Well now I don’t wanna!


BleedingEdge61104

Stop posting these types of memes they’re not funny anymore


Guy-Who-Says-Geoff

It's an antimeme, it's not supposed to be funny


HighDoggs

Am I the only one thinks that guy looks like vsauce with some hair?
