Some other programs provide options for just writing out one's own
citation in a "free-form" box rather than using the individual entry
pieces that I see in Legacy. Is there a way to bypass the normal source
citation forms and just write it yourself?

From the help files;
Overriding the Master Event Sentence (Deluxe Edition only)
There may be cases where the sentence definition for the event you are using does not produce a
sentence that is exactly right for the current entry. In this case you can override the master
sentence by typing in a new one on the Sentence Override tab. If anything at all is entered into
this override field, it will replace the event sentence generated for this event record only. You
can type the sentence using the exact wording you want to see or you can use the available [fields]
to represent the event field entries above. For example, if you want to include source citations
for the event, add the [Sources] field to the end of the override sentence. E.g. Jim was a
bricklayer in his early years.[Sources]
