I wanted to see what the keys felt like under my fingertips.

But I started typing on it anyway, figuring I could charge it overnight and get the full experience in the morning. It hadn’t occurred to me there wouldn’t be enough of a charge to use the Hemingwrite out of the box. Now, as I go through editing my first, second, and third drafts, I find myself missing those sessions, and I can’t wait to get back to my Freewrite for book number two. And it’s something I’ll cherish having done for the rest of my life. And whether what I produced is good or bad matters not to me. And I couldn’t have done it without the distraction free moments the Traveler provided me. After a decade of wanting to, I finally did it. From March 2020 to March 2021, in coffee shops near my office, an hour at a time on my lunch breaks, I did it. I bought it a few days later, waited patiently for its release, and when it arrived at my door, I flourished. I watched one Youtube video, and I could think of nothing else. Luck would have it that during one of my many distracted browsing sessions (when I meant to have been writing), I stumbled across the video of the yet-to-be-released Freewrite Traveler. But I didn’t need the world at my fingertips. I had the world at my fingertips with my MacBook Pro. Facebook notifications, text messages, emails. Like many of my rookie writing companions, I found myself constantly brought out of “the flow” of my writing sessions (few and far in between, as my first child had just been born in January) by a steady barrage of bright and shiny things.
So, when the pandemic hit, separated and isolated from anyone who might be the least bit judgmental towards me wanting to write, I finally found the time, read “On Writing” and “Bird by Bird”, and began. I’d had an idea for a story for nearly a decade, having never worked up the courage or confidence to actually sit down and write it. I’m sure my story is one that echoes countless others in these times: I started writing my first book in March 2020.
