radio silence

One of the really annoying things about being dependent on Dragon is that a throat infection means a sudden reduction in the amount of computer work that can be done. Fortunately I'm not completely dependent on Dragon, but for the last few days I've had severely reduced capacity for keyboard work. As in, at best I could just about manage to get through the day job, and on Wednesday I went off and spent the afternoon doing something that kept me off the computer because I was too damned sore to do any more hands-type typing.

It's not just the obvious "can't talk", either. Using Dragon requires more concentration than typing on a keyboard, at least for me, and concentration is also in somewhat short supply at the moment. :-/ So nothing done this week by way of writing other than dealing with the prep work for the new release in two or three weeks' time. The weekend looks to be more of the same. The book log backlog will have to wait another week...
