"My dear Watson, you can't even keep your eyes open. Surely the manuscript can wait until tomorrow."

I repressed a yawn. It was true my eyes were very tired but I had finally found my narrative flow and I hated to interrupt it. Thankfully, there was another way.

I bid Holmes a good night, retired to my room, and closed the door to muffle the noise. I pulled out the typewriting machine I had recently purchased and ensured my fingers were on the correct row.

Courses in touch typing had taught me how to continue writing with my eyes closed.
