I have often wrote short stories to pay my bills in the Neith, however I have been eyeing a certain ornate typewriter in one of the bazaars windows and subsequently debating whether or not I should purchase it to assist my literary ambitions; however I do not yet know if it is worth the investment.
In layman's terms, I want to know if the Ornate Typewriter worth purchasing for use in writing short stories? What exactly does it do? does it have any other useful effects?

it lets you give- if the pattern is correct- 3 actions and a handful of items- probably ~2 echoes worth- for a sizable quantity of bohemian connections.
it also lets you have another short story challenge- i believe it gives 5 pages for one potential, and 4 actions. on a failure it gives one page and takes one potential.
also, if you place any significant value on actions- say, 20 pence, use the romantic notions, rather than manuscript pages, to edit your work. if you value actions at >50 pence, it's probably better to even buy prisoner's honey from the bazaar, upcraft to romantic notions, and use them, if you don't have any romantic notions- counterintuitive, but actually sounds accurate. i could be mistaken, but i don't think i am.
happy writing!
(i'm sure there are better grinds, though, for however far along you are.)

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.
