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

If I enjoyed reading those, chances are other people might, too.

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

Interesting challenge to set up a walking tour of a place 110 years back in time. I didn’t know New York’s Broadway had cable cars then!pic.twitter.com/9yEzhCEcx4

Sitting down to write the most difficult chapter yet (about sexism around typewriting and computing). Please wish me luck!

Two evocative photos for tomorrow’s chapter about portable keyboards, where Corona typewriter (WWI) meets a ThinkPad (Space Shuttle).pic.twitter.com/QD0jbf72AT

If starting a new chapter is consistently the worst part of writing, the feeling tonight is one of the best: I wrote most of a chapter today, and tomorrow is just riding the momentum and finishing it.

As I’m nearing the completion of the first draft, the reference book piles loom higher and higher. (left = today, right = when I started)pic.twitter.com/6omisfp0Xb

This is amazing. Can't even think of what kind of effort sourcing all of those must have been. Looking forward to reading the finished product!
