A quick note to apologise to anyone waiting for an e-mail from me, or for something of substace to appear in this particular forum.  For once it's not a case of deadlines, although they have contributed to the problem.  I'm suffering RSI and undergoing treatment for the same, and therefore exploring a variety of options like fancy keyboards and voice recognition software (not "oyster commission software" as the programme originally understood it to be)  to see things right.

But it's not all bad, not by a long chalk.  When not editing or coming up with ideas or future series, I've been watching Doctor Who DVDs, catching up on Carnivale, and seeing the odd circus act at the Adelaide Fringe.  Loving the cooler weather.  Reading some great books.  Eating chocolate.  And so on.

Oh, it's wonderful not to have to write 3 1/2 thousand words a day any more.  (Never again ...)

I have used Dragon Dictate in the past, and it worked pretty well for me. Since that was about 5 years ago, I assume things have improved further.

I'm deep in the training phase at the moment, which is proving pretty frustrating, but I'm hopeful ...

Keep at it with the software, sean. It's really frustrating at first, but it gets better. I write fantasy, and it copes reasonably well with unusual names etc once you train it.
