I don't think August was ever a writer. That was probably just a cover for his investigation of the Author. There were never any signs of him being a writer in the flashbacks. I think the typewriter was actually The Author's way to communicate to August on the outside world. Author could have created the picture of the Dark One Dagger and made it come out of the typewriter to August.
