Start timer after text entry box is selected

I have a text entry question (essay type) where the participant is asked to write about his daily life for 10 min.
However, for controlability reasons, I would like the timer to be started when the participant _selects_ the text entry box and not when he opens the page in general.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!

On key down event of text entry you can start the JS timer and then on next button click, capture the counter in an embedded data OR if counter reaches 10mins then click the next button using js.
