Sure, it’s a bit hipster, and somewhat pricey, but it’s something to consider, in any case.

And no, I don’t get commission from Astrohaus or anything. I just like the idea of it, and it seems to be a high quality product. Been following their progress since it was only an idea.


(Me again) Freewrite: do you love it or hate the idea?
Honestly?

Yet another fad item. What's the point? If someone is SO EASILY distracted that they can't use a notebook or laptop or desktop, without SQUIRREL! every 30 seconds, what's the likelihood that they have the attention span and discipline to finish a damn book in the first place?

It's like the 9 billion dedicated "novel writing" software programs, most of which don't do anything special except say "I'm a WRITER!" with this or that sort of foofy appearance.

Save the money, and just CLOSE THE DOOR if you have that many attention deficit issues.
