      It was kind of incredible to bring a 2017 QWERTY keyboard to where the original was being made, a century-and-a-half ago.pic.twitter.com/c0ZW3n9Fxz

      Something kind of nice just happened. I needed to re-read a few chapters I wrote all the way back in May…

      The distance of time made it feel like reading someone else. And it was fun. And I actually learned new things. (Well, re-learned.)

      Writing has become harder in recent months, but this experience helped a bit to find energy for the last dozen chapters.

          Excited about writing the next chapter: a stroll through the Typewriter Row in 1910’s New York, speed typing contests, and a tearful ending.
