Miller:
When I'm revising, I use a pen and ink to make changes, cross out, insert.[...] Then I retype, and in the process of retyping I make more changes. I prefer to retype everything myself, because even when I think I've made all the changes I want, the mere mechanical business of touching the keys sharpens my thoughts, and I find myself revising while doing the finished thing.
Interviewer:
You mean there is something going on between you and the machine?
Miller:
Yes, in a way the machine acts as a stimulus; it's a cooperative thing.
