Thanks, Ching Ya! I appreciate you visiting and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the snow pics. I, too, think snow makes the forest look magical.

What a wonderful view! I always have a thing for snow, or maybe because I can’t get enough here where I live. ^^ I love the 1st pic the most: it gives the surreal feeling, like something magical is awaiting ahead.

I really hope you’ll recover soon and can type with both hands again. You seem like a very good novelist and I wish you all the success in the world for your creativity.

Keep writing!

I love that first snow, too! And we’ve gotten very little snow for some time, but I wonder if that will change this year, as much rain as we’ve been getting.

Thanks so much, Wylie! I’m trying to baby my arm, and still writing longhand on the WIP.

YAY for snow!! (I’ll be changing my tune in February)
I’m getting that Christmassy feeling now that the ground is white.
Hey – take care of that arm, TL.

Thanks, Kimmi! (((((((Hugs)))))))), and I really hope this RSI gets better soon.

Hi, Maya! A friend recommended Kinesio tape, and I might well start doing some taping before long. Taping for typing — very alliterative. And gads, a mouthstick? I’d have to switch from novels to flash fiction.

Hi, Snaggle! Glad you enjoyed the snow pics — it was so pretty. And I’ve got the music itch something fierce. I love listening to music, yes, but I want to PLAY! And haha, I’ve been singing and humming my brains out. Thank you for the well-wishes. Longhand is indeed so slow compared to typing. I’m spoiled rotten by my computer typing speed (which I’m sure contributed to my RSI during my ferocious NaNo pace).

So pretty the mountain way you present the white stuff! Especially the Mountain Laurel- great that it wasn’t the shovel kind, but stll so inspiring.
We haven’t had any flurries yet- just alot of frost the past few nights.
I tend to go bazerk when I can’t play music, just remember you can always sing n hum accapella tunes! I wrote one that’s in that form on one of those occassions-
Good luck with the long-hand (it’s so slow!)

Ah yes, the dreaded RSI. I had one years ago at work, and have been keyboarding with a wrist guard ever since. It also flares up every time I have a baby, for some strange reason – what do wrist nerves have to do with reproduction???

It’s good that you’re taking it seriously, though, because I’ve read of cases where the person lost all use of the hand permanently and had to start using a mouthstick to keyboard.
