A calm place to type. No toolbar, no backspace: the page, a red pen, and the next draft.

A typed draft, marked up with a yellow marker, a red pen and a note in the margin

  1. Type it once.

    Keys go down and stay down. Headings, lists, bold and italic, and nothing to fiddle with.

  2. Mark it up.

    Strike a phrase in yellow, circle a thought in red, put a word in the margin.

  3. Type it again, better.

    The last draft sits beside the new one. When it's ready, put it on the shelf.
