    Hereafter Ponies Delayed, Changed Workflow due to RSI, Will Practice with New G1 Story

    Due to RSI, I took two weeks off at the beginning of October. When I tried to go back to work, my hands still bothered me. It was only on the 16th that I came up with a solution.

    Using an Android app called Orgzly, I've begun to outline Hereafter Ponies in its entirety, something I'd been doing sparingly in recent months. This'll let me rest my hands while also staying productive.

    Health Update: The Greatest Showmare, RSI, Dvorak

    Last week, I had just finished the second-to-last scene of the next chapter when my hands started bothering me. I tried a whole bunch of things like wrist braces, setting the ceiling fan to the lowest setting so that it wouldn’t blow cold air on my hands as I type, gloves, rearranging the pillows since I type in bed, an elaborate series of stretches, and, most importantly, learning the Dvorak

    Afterword: The Mare in the Moon

    In late July of last year, my cousin was going away for a week, and I was asked to house-sit for them. As an aspiring author, this gave me a chance to write in private (and use their internet).

Health Update: The Greatest Showmare, RSI, Dvorak · 8:41pm Sep 6th, 2019

Last week, I had just finished the second-to-last scene of the next chapter when my hands started bothering me. I tried a whole bunch of things like wrist braces, setting the ceiling fan to the lowest setting so that it wouldn’t blow cold air on my hands as I type, gloves, rearranging the pillows since I type in bed, an elaborate series of stretches, and, most importantly, learning the Dvorak keyboard layout, which why this chapter is delayed.

Perhaps I should do my work in the public library again.
