Awhile back, I pulled BOTH of my Achilles tendons because I jumped back into running like I had as a twenty-something-year-old and my body couldn't take it. I pushed myself too far. Now I regret doing that... I may never be able to run again. So kudos to you for giving yourself time to heal and being willing to use voice control for this period of time. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog.Laurie Kolphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07494759781947881343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474272343083175168.post-80962042804588511872011-07-21T05:16:20.104-05:002011-07-21T05:16:20.104-05:00I'm sure it is different.

Something about typing loosens ideas in my head....I'm typing before I'm even sure what's coming out, and sometimes I'm astounded by the words on the screen.<br /><br />I hope you get better soon...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474272343083175168.post-70009973457275387232011-07-19T02:43:15.714-05:002011-07-19T02:43:15.714-05:00The acupuncture works wonders!

I haven't been any real writing with it yet, but when to try after school tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.Jen Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429398922307420260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474272343083175168.post-40840744798899531992011-07-18T15:27:30.788-05:002011-07-18T15:27:30.788-05:00First, I'm amazed at how beautiful this looks ...First, I'm amazed at how beautiful this looks with Voice Recognition software. I'm wondering how you edit with it, but that's another story. I've often wondered if I could write with this. I've been typing (fast!) for SO long and it seems like part of the process. I've often wondered if not being able to type with mess with the process.<br /><br />BIG congrats on Short Story America. Wow. That's terrific. I'm so happy for you, Jen. You're awesome.<br /><br />Great blog!Lisette Brodeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021324250266879948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474272343083175168.post-74220097403355880742011-07-18T15:14:00.842-05:002011-07-18T15:14:00.842-05:00Thank you so much for your comments, Diana and Suz...Thank you so much for your comments, Diana and Suzy! It is strange, but I figure if nothing else that it will give me a different perspective on writing. And, it couldn't hurt my diction.<br /><br />Suzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your back. From what I hear about back injuries that has to be just as bad. I am going for acupuncture, too, but the cow horn sounds a little scary :-) what we do for the love of writing, eh?Jen Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429398922307420260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474272343083175168.post-42008054914168406662011-07-18T13:59:15.331-05:002011-07-18T13:59:15.331-05:00Ok...

Man, am I behind the times!<br />Not so good that you had to use it because of that horrendous thing called RSI. I feel for you, I really do. I have awful problems with my back from sitting at a computer writing for so long (today I went for acupuncture and the Chinese Doctor pummeled me with a cow horn - I kid you not, I have major bruises to prove it!) But at least I still have the use of my hands in order to continue typing. I hope your RSI recovers quickly, I can't imagine how weird it must be to write without using your fingers. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.<br />Suzy<br />http://suzyturner.blogspot.comSuzy, The Grey Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073447337090145191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474272343083175168.post-47818559162516511112011-07-18T13:43:53.599-05:002011-07-18T13:43:53.599-05:00Who knows, Jen--you may be onto a zeitgeisty kind ...Who knows, Jen--you may be onto a zeitgeisty kind of thing with the voice recognition software. There are authors reading their books on CDs. I know it's a stretch between composing and reading, but maybe you'll discover a new way to compose stories and articles and poems. Hasn't Stephen Hawking also pioneered this? I'd say you're in good company! DThe Low Three Figureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521598029511650750noreply@blogger.com
