Freewrite Smart Typewriter (2nd Gen)
I ordered a Freewrite on a bit of a whim, after hearing good things about it from a couple of professional writers. I don't regret it at all: since I started using it, I've really fallen in love with writing again, and found the absolute joy of just letting the words flow. If you love writing, or you want to rediscover that love, I'd really recommend it.
Come for the keyboard, stay for the distraction-free experience. For me, the device offers just enough technology: awesome mechanical keyboard and reliable autosave to the cloud. No cursor keys constantly beckoning to edit what is already written. And the solid build and clean design are so satisfying. Altogether thrilled with my Freewrite and highly recommend it.
I have been trying to work on a screenplay idea for a while now and I kept being distracted by other devices and social media... having a freewriter has help me concentrate and focus on writing. The amount of words I get down per a day has tripled... can’t recommend it enough
The Freewrite turns out to be exactly what I was looking for. I wanted zero distractions, and narrow focus -- no temptation to do anything but write out my first draft. It's still new, but I can already tell it's going to help me a lot.
