TYPE RIDER (cue the Valkyries)

The annual Decatur Book Festival is only a few weeks away. Type Rider is one of our expected guests. What? You haven’t heard of this literary super-hero? Type Rider is biking across North America, luring the unsuspecting passers-by into contributing to a literary …ummm…thing!

Picture this: you are strolling the sidewalk and you encounter a card table with a typewriter on top. Someone encourages you to type something.

What do you type?

Really, now, think about it. What do you type on that white sheet of paper?

I can hardly wait to see.
