writing

My friend Andy, back in college days.


A very happy birthday to my friend Andy today.

Writing more these days. My tendinitis is much improved, I'm happy to report. I don't use ViaVoice anymore. I can type for longer without having to take a break (about 30 minutes at a time...sometimes more, sometimes less), though I still am being careful. My left arm is pretty much healed, right arm still recovering.

I still think of my day in terms of "arm points" (how much I can use my arm before it starts getting too sore to be of much use without risk of a setback). I have more arm points each day, but I still prioritize how much typing I do, and how I use arm points.

I know that if I gave up my Blatherings, I could do more typing for other projects. But for me, Blatherings is part of my writing life. My chance to talk about whatever I'd like without having to worry about wordcount or specific content or deadlines; I post when I feel like it.

Speaking of writing, I'm writing music again. While Jeff was helping my Dad with computerstuff last night, I noodled on the piano and wrote a kid's song. It's short and simple, but fun. :-) I'm hoping to polish it up and teach it to Allison and Jodi so we can perform it in our kids' concert (shared with Ookla the Mok) at OVFF. SO great to be writing music again. I started a second song as well, but doubt this will be finished in time.
