Even though writers really don’t get weekends off, strictly speaking, I tend to cut myself way more slack over the weekend. Sometimes to the point of doing no writing at all. Imagine!
Recovery time is very important. Especially when you have a condition like dystonia, in which your hand and foot have been twisting non-stop for nearly seven years. Yeah, that last bit was hard to blog about at first. Like I said, no one wants pity, but I’m trying to raise awareness, and you can’t do that by being silent, can you?

That’s an excellent point, Paul. I’m glad you raised it. Makes you wonder if Apple is being unfairly singled out for some reason. Now, given the widespread use of Microsoft products vs. Apple products, could the possible reason be related somehow?
But what do I know? I’m just a fiction writer with an overactive imagination.
