For anyone who may have missed it on
Twitter/FB/Google+/etc., or who may be wondering why I’ve been so quiet….
On our way to Sedona last month, I injured my left
hand—basically, I lost my balance, put my hand out on the car to catch myself,
and Live-Long-and-Prospered a little too enthusiastically. In other words, my ring
finger took all the weight. I thought I’d sprained the finger, but when it didn’t
get better in a couple of weeks, I went to Ken’s amazing hand doctor. He took
x-rays, examined it, and gave me the bad news:
Damaged ligament. Three months to heal. Avoid typing.
As in, hi, you can’t do your job.
I’m investigating Dragon Naturally Speaking, but in the
meantime, emails will be short and infrequent and involve lots of contractions/shortcuts.
I would love phone calls/Skype, though, as I’ve been very down in the dumps
about all of this.
On top of that, Ken’s been away, and I learned that I have
an abcessed tooth and need a root canal, which is scheduled for Feb 1. :-(
Meanwhile, work-wise, I’m focusing on the publishing end of
things, and hopefully will have lots of new stories as well as novels
(finally!) available in the next few months. I know this blog will feel a bit
spammy, and I apologize in advance for that. I’m also lining up some
copyediting jobs (tell your friends!). All that involves minimal typing.
There are good things going on, too, but my hand’s hurting
and I’ve hit my quota for today’s typing….
::sigh::
