More to come – If I knew what I was about – I’d not have much to write…
And here it is…
I’m a research librarian, bike commuter, baker, music fiend, lover of reading & books, mother, wife, friend – and many more descriptive adjectives and nouns.
I live in Tucson, AZ and have been a letter and note writing junkie ever since I could put pen to paper. I am grateful for word processors because I have horrid handwriting. My sentence starts out fine, but then it looks like I’ve had some sort of seizure in the middle of writing and it goes downhill from there.
I too like to use a word processor — my hand cramps up when I write very much, especially when I am trying to keep up with my mind as it rabbits from idea to idea! And my writing deteriorates into nearly illegible scribbling that even I have trouble reading! I am so glad I learned touch-typing in high school — my hands can keep up with my mind on the keyboard. And yet, I like to write first-drafts by hand, maybe because it does force me to slow down and form better sentences, descriptions, dialogue, etc.
I can no longer even write first drafts on paper – I do jot down ideas all over the place – but writing by hand is such a frustrating chore now that my typing is faster. I took Typing English in 7th grade – Iam now grateful for that class!
Thanks for commenting.
Forgive me!!! At some point in the last 24 hours I started confusing you with Tracy Fulks. The two of you are VERY different. Somehow I managed to go to her blog when hitting your link and tah dah! that’s what happened. It was a bad mix up – sorry. Even I was confused like a Jekyl and Hyde thing. UGH!!! Sorry a thousand times. I should have known something was amiss.
I must have missed something – (I LOVE TRAVY FAULK’S BLOG!!) I never realized you confused us…
Something weird happened. I hit your name and I got linked to her blog. So when I was responding to your comment I was thinking of her not you.
I think I’m losing my mind. I’m gonna blame it on hormones. If anything I said doesn’t sound right, disregard. We’ll start fresh tomorrow.
Oh ~ I think I know what happened. I reblogged one of Tracy’s posting (with the Jake video) and when you chose to read all XXX words (by clicking) it links you to Tracy’s blog. I bet that’s what happened

The flow in your words, and the energy that you express yourself in, I think you are really a spontaneous person!!
PS I hope I was correct in deriving the above fact about you.
PS forgive my mistakes in grammar if any. I hate to make them too.
Nothing to forgive!
Aw shucks – thank you … I try to write as I sound!
you do that pretty well! I couldn’t not point out that!
Thank you!
It’s refreshing to read that I’m not alone with my dysfunctional handwriting, who was also saved thanks to word processors.

I forgot to mention that Google is a great spell check for illusive words that refuse to cooperate. If you are not sure how to spell a word, just give it your best shot with Google and this search engine almost never fails to replace your misspelled word with the correct version.
Google is hard for me

I’d never have made it through college if it was not for my word processor!

Interesting, I’m a researcher who likes libraries. About the handwriting, maybe you were a physician in an earlier life?
One never knows –
Lance saying he is a researcher is like Fred Astaire saying he danced… a little. I think he has the most library cards I’ve ever known anyone to have (he’s lived in a lot of places)…:)
The things one learns!
Dearest Rutabaga, you have been awarded! http://stuphblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/ill-procrastinate-later/
Aw thank you!!
Where is your post with the word ‘iration’? I want to link to it for a special game.
I don’t find one in a search – and it’s not striking an immediate chord of recognition.
It was in an aside about how you like to make up words. If you have another one, that would work.
This one?
http://themercenaryresearcher.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/i-cannot-tell-a-lie/
That’s the one!
I’m going to invite people to play “Fictionary” and enter their made-up words, and wanted to use ‘iration’ as an example
Oh what FUN! Thank you ~
