Well this is inconvenient
Jan. 20th, 2012 03:03 pmI had to visit the clinic earlier due to a strange lump having appeared on my wrist. The nurse says I've got inflamed nerves due to RSI, and I need to cut back a lot on how much I use the computer for at least the next two weeks or until the swelling goes down. Which means I'm not supposed to be writing any fanfiction. Therefore, I'm I probably won't be able to update anything for a while.
Honestly, I'm gutted. I had a target of archiving 300 000 words in my first year of fanfiction and I've got four weeks left and I'm only 15 000 words away. Plus I'm really into these two stories in particular that I'm working on at the moment and I've put in so much work researching them. But the nurse is right - I've literally barely stopped typing these past couple of weeks and it shouldn't really be surprising that my wrist has swollen up. So I guess that means I'm going to be taking a break from writing for a while. And all this medical drama has come about at a time when I was trying to write a medical drama story of my own. Oh the irony.
On the plus side though, at least I feel like a real writer now. I've written so much that I actually have some kind of physical injury to show for it.
