FWIW I read a summary of a study recently that showed that our brains treat handwriting as an act of creation and stimulates the brain to create new pathways, but typing doesn't inspire any particular brain activity at all. [https://www.psypost.org/handwriting-activates-broader-brain-networks-than-typing-study-shows/] So, I think you're onto a good thing here; keep up the great work!

Have had these thoughts. Now, reduced as I am with an arthritically bent little finger, left hand, letter A, I intend to have some more. We shall see.

"... a perfectionist, over-thinker, or self-editor, all of which are modes that plague most writers. The pen is loud enough to drown out the inner critic; the keys are not."--really liked this, tho I'm not sure *anything* really drowns out the inner critic!! 😅
