Unboxing my Freewrite Alpha from Astrohouse! ~ First Impressions

OMG As someone who's struggled with distractions while trying to write (constant editing and perfectionism being the worst offenders), I'm so excited to start using this thing!!

Congrats on the new Alpha Freewrite! Good luck with fast drafting! The thock sounds encouraging! ⌨️

[@momokeen]

Thank you! I've been loving it so far!

[@matth408]

Mine arrived yesterday and I love it already! Good luck with yours 🎉

[@momokeen]

Ahhh thank you! Good luck with yours as well!

[@MelancholyMoondancer]

The Wilhelm scream. 😆 The thocks sound so good. 👌🏻👌🏻 We may have similar misophonia because of course. 😅

[@BibBubDude]

Mine is coming in Thursday. Can’t wait to start working on short stories and finally sitting and writing a novel.

[@momokeen]

Good luck! May the muse find you! ✨

[@BibBubDude]

@@momokeen do you find yourself still using it?

[@momokeen]

@@BibBubDude Yep, I use it almost every night for my nighttime journaling and have started to use it for drafting! One thing I will say is that I make sure to hit the send button to make sure everything backs up because I've lost drafts before without me realizing it. 😭

[@BibBubDude]

@@momokeen hmm thanks for the tip. So you have to press send in order for it to save? I thought it backs up to the cloud? Or is that how you “back up” to the cloud by hitting send?

[@momokeen]

@@BibBubDude it's supposed to auto save to the cloud once you have your Postbox account and you choose your backup methods, but mine for whatever reason was inconsistent with the backup so I am just extra paranoid now and hit the send button as a precaution before ending for the session.

Please...tell me more about that little timer you set at the beginning of the video. I like it!

[@momokeen]

It's a visual timer from TimeTimer.com! ✨⏲️

[@arepas]

Wow, that spacebar sounds so awful. Was surprised how awful it was in person as well. Padded with some thin foam and it resolved.

[@pauljessup2647]

I plan on doing the tape mod to mine, as well as replacing the keycaps...

[@dericmederos1514]

But with no backlight you're at the mercy of good lighting

[@momokeen]

This is 100% true. Definitely wouldn't recommend it as a bedside journal or anything.

[@pauljessup2647]

I've been using mine for a few weeks now and haven't had a problem. It's no worse than an ereader or the original Gameboy Advance? And if I want to write at night without light, I can just use a clip on booklight

[@momokeen]

@@pauljessup2647 oh wow GBA takes me BACK! 🤯

[@nickp2196]

Very posh!

[@momokeen]

Indubitably, fair husband!

[@nalaredneb78]

Did you do the update? Do you like the update?

[@momokeen]

The firmware update you mean? 🤔 I got that installed overnight and the device has been working fine! I don't really have much else to compare the post-update experience to since I just filmed out of the box the one time and then wanted to update ASAP so I didn't run into any issues while actually doing real work. But it's been working great!

[@larrymarso4492]

oooh what's that clock?

[@wrtucey]

This ^

[@momokeen]

Hiya! The clock is a Time Timer (timetimer.com I believe though I think they also have them on Amazon)!
