Idea for freewriting
One of the things I like about my Neo by AlphaSmart is that the screen shows only four lines. I find that, for me, when I see the whole page, I tend to start editing when I should be writing—as I’ve said, it’s my belief that trying to combine editing (the internal critic) with writing (the spewing out of words) can quickly lead to writer’s block. Seeing only four lines, I’m much less apt to start editing, with the pleasant result that I typically write more than I thought I was writing, sailing away with no distractions.
Here’s a cute idea to get the same benefit at your computer.
