I just love your retro film noir style. It is perfect for this retro-fusion device. I have been watching so many videos about the Freewrite and your is the premium best. I love the clarity, and you are the only one who has included music without it interfering with your voice. Please make more videos like this, and kindly send a link to Freewrite the company. You have done them real justice ❤ bless you. Thanks heaps.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the style of the video. It definitely was different from most of my videos and really pushed me out of my comfort zone in both presentation and technical skills. However, I learned a lot and it was a blast to put together. The folks at free right are aware of the video. I just wish it had garnered more views because I think there are more folks out there, like you who, would enjoy this different take on the device. Again, I really appreciate the kind words and wishing you a happy New Year!

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed the style of the video. Most of my videos are not as creative. I do about one of these a year with this style because of the time commitment and planning involved. I do have ideas for others and just completed a 1940s radio theme for a radio review (kzitem.info/news/bejne/jn6b3qRogpV9nYI).

@@retroCombs I’m a novelist, and buying one of those sounds sooo tempting. The only problem is, waiting to edit until the end of the first draft. It can be a show-stopping nightmare even for the best writers. I put my drafts thru a rigorous process of, Prowriting aid, Autocrit, you name it, but those require the dreaded computer. Also, I like to write over an inspiring background. The Freewrite has haunted me for years now. 😂 (Your video didn’t help.) LOL again! 💯 (I think you should consider selling your video to ASTROHAUS for a lump sum or royalties.) Seriously.

@@PianoMan-hx3ev Great to read your workflow. I'm a ProWritingAid life user myself. Agree, when it's time to edit, the Freewrite ain't it. But since it syncs to Google Docs, throwing PWA on it is pretty effortless and I like to focus on chapters. The FW folks are aware of my video. They like it but I was surprised they didn't share on their social media.

Жыл бұрын
Not that guy at all. An SD card is a viable option but I can likely tell you why. Astrohaus uses an online service called Postmates that captures and analyzes your typing statistics (more in an upcoming video). An SD card would allow the writer to bypass that system, which some might prefer but I find it an easy system to use and fun to see my typing data. Hope that helps.
