Hi, Larissa:
Yes, I've had some bad months, with no real writing. This week I received a message from an epublisher, that if I made some changes in my manuscript, they would be interested in a re-submission, so I guess I will try to do that. I've decided I can't do NaNo this year, so maybe I'll use November to do a revision.
I balanced the checkbooks today, which ended in pain. Ice paks, heat pads, pain pills. I'm trying everything. But even in pain, I'm keeping a close eye on the emails because I still have some queries out.
One day I may try the Dragon software.
You should be proud of yourself for those daily words. Every word counts!
Have a good evening.
Vicki

Hi everybody. I know it's been a long time since anyone posted and I just wanted to check in and say howdy.
Vicki, I saw on the Roses Loop a few weeks back that you're having a rough time of it... I can really empathize. This summer has been the worst ever for me when it comes to talking and since I dictate my typing, I really felt silenced. Fortunately, I was able to get in a lot of handwriting and ended up with two spirals' worth of a story that I'm still working to get dictated. Even when it was only 100 words in a day, I felt really great just getting something out.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking just released version 10 and it's supposed to have much greater accuracy. When my voice is stronger, I'm hoping to give that a try!
Anyway, I have been thinking of everyone and hope that y'all are doing well. Larissa
