An Emacs Based Writerdeck (opens in new tab)

If you follow writers at all, you’ll have noticed that many prefer to write their prose in long hand even if they began their writing career with a computer. Tess Gerretsen and Neal Stephenson are two examples that come to mind. Both are serious, established writers who have no need for performative resistance to computers. Indeed, they both use computers to produce the final manuscript. They say they write in longhand to slow things down or to avoid premature editing.
