This modern world is robbing me of my time. My complete reliance of being on my phone through all times of day is robbing me of hearing my own thoughts. So much of my time is consuming others content as it is increasing accessible to do so.
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this essay for a while 😆 you captured it beautifully.
“Every keystroke is conception, every space a wall between two families, every period the end of a generation, every paragraph an epoch, and this page… eternity.”
Plus, I love this idea of writing as manual labor and music. Ah, the magic of taking an intellectual craft and making it physical.
Enjoyed this essay. In response to the question- I don’t use alarm clocks or alarms on on my phone. No alarm clocks for the toddlers either. I like the challenge of going analog especially in the summer.

Does this process include digitizing for safety?
I remember talking once to someone who lost a complete manuscript to a house fire.
So I backup like a fiend!
