I love writing, I only really bother uploading fanfiction - as I doubt people would want to read my original work, still writing is my greatest escape in all its forms, so thank you for making this very lovely stamp!

I love writing! I haven't officially published anything yet because I'm editing the draft, but once it's finalized, I will be so excited!

I love the stamp but the title bums me out. Writing is hard work, and boiling it down to 'talent' saddens me.

Loving the typewriter. Brings back memories of when my dad pulled one out of a dumpster and fixed it up just so I could use it. Good times.

This has such a nice, vintage look to it. I love that you used a typewriter; there's just something special about it.

I adore this stamp. 
I think mostly because you used an actual typewriter.
How many writers today would be determined enough to use one? No auto-correct, no spell-check, no going back without having to skip lines, scribble things out or pull out a jar of white-out.
I have been lucky enough to have been submitted to using one for months on end. When I didn't have a computer to use whenever I wanted. Especially at 3am, when my mother was asleep and I couldn't raid her computer in her room for fear of being screamed at when I desperately needed to pour out masses of ideas on a page. Well, determination kicked in, and I whipped out the 40-something-year-old typewriter and began to write stacks, old school style.
And after months of going hardcore on the old thing, I popped a spring, couldn't fix it myself, and moved on to the 20-something typewriter. Electric, no screen, but it had 'typo tape' built in, and single-line-memory, as well as an extremely basic dictionary that would chirp at you when you made a typo, though you had to guess where. I swear, the day I pulled that out and mom hit the 'demo mode button', I squealed a little. It was so sweet and endearing, typing itself out an introduction to explain its functions like a key-chattering HAL9000 machine. It was like this lovely little retro pet. A pre-computer with a brain just slightly better than a Mr. Spell. I think the funniest part was when we had to hunt on ebay for replacement ink cartridges. The only place we could find any that didn't cost an arm and a leg were from a place that sold 'vintage office supplies, for your all your classic office supply collections!' I looked at mom and chewed my lip, "If only this person knew what we were going to do with these when we got them. They'd scream." 
I REGRET NOTHING!

I am left-handed, which makes me more prone to spelling errors on the English keyboard.
I am not confident nor determined enough to use a typewriter, unless I had no other options.

I agree. I am a writer myself, and am trying to be convincing to appreciate.
