Scribble and Scratch

[mmerriam]

Apparently I've misplaced my ability to write a first draft on the computer, instead scribbling it out longhand in the notebook and transcribing it later. This will slow me down a bit, since I have trouble reading my own writing. The curse of being left-handed and all that.

Dark Water Blues


The plan is to start sending out Last Car to Annwn Station next week.

I'm right-handed and have the same problem. And on top of that, I realllllly hate re-typing in something I've written. Keyboards and scanners were invented for me, I think....

I have the same problem. And I'm right-handed. :)

Sorry, didn't see Will's comment :)

Pray it doesn't get worse. Chiseling stone really slows things down, especially left-handed!

I don't even know where my chisel is...

Do you have a thingy where you can talk to the computer and it types for you? My dad got that from work because he has arthritis and his wrists were really starting to hurt, too... He showed me, and it works really well. It does weird things when his voice is distorted from a cold, though. And it absolutely refuses to type anything but gibberish for my stepmother because her accent is so bad in English! :-P

No, I don't but I've been thinking about it. I have a friend who uses Dragon Speaking Naturally and they really like it.

Yeah, that's what it is! He calls it his Dragon, I didn't know it was the program's real name :-P

Erm, that was me.

I have trouble reading my right-handed writing. On the other hand, when I do left-handed paintings, they're not so awful.

Lefties rule. That speaking programme sounds like an idea.
