Heyo, how you doing.

I don't know if I should apologise for this, but I have to get this off my chest.

I don't know if anyone remembers but around a year ago I said I'd switch to voicetyping and then editing later because I had damaged by forearms with the RSI of typing so much. Yadda yadda I had some really shitty phsyiotherapist in Switzerland who didn't do shit, but recently I got the problem mostly fixed.

Today, I got an edit suggestion on RoyalRoad, and I realised, that in comparison to how I used to write with my hands. The quality of my writing rn... Is dogshit.

There's so many errors I want to sink into the ground.

The issue with editing the garbage that voice text programms produce is that mistakes slip by if your brain knows whats coming up and fills out the blanks.

I've probably lost a bunch of Patrons because of this, and didn't gain a bunch that I could have.

I will now start writing normally again, and just reduce my general computer usage, try to change my lifestyle to something where the cramping will be less frequent. I also have a better physiotherapist now so I'll just go more regularly if it gets bad again.

Anyway, you might not notice a difference immediately, because some of the content is pre-written. 1 month for Rattata and Videogame cultivator. 3 months Harry Evans.

But, After this the quality should improve again. So, if you're frustrated and noticed the quality issues, sorry, and it will improve in a month.

Have a great start of the week.

Not sure about others but I have not noticed anything horribly bad. At worst the occasional typo that isnt that bad really. Still enjoying your stories and dont have major complaints.

I agree. One thing is you can have AI to doublecheck your wording if you'd like? Feels like it'd be especially good at that. Let me know if you'd like any direction on methodology.

Haven't noticed anything glaringly obvious about your writing didn't even know you were using voice to text

Try the kinesis advantage keyboard if you get the chance. It takes a bit of getting used to but it greatly reduces my CTS

I mean I haven't noticed issues and I generally still love your writing. Maybe it feels like the chapters are shorter than they used to be and don't cover that much? Idk. Reminder to check out the Keyboardio 100. Very good ergo keyboard. Though it'd take some time to get used to. You're able to mount them as well and have even completely sideways, if you wanted. It's really very cool. Even if you didn't do that, should help out a ton vs the hand issues. Make sure to get something though asap. Normal keyboards can easily be ruinous. Even if it's just something to make a normal keyboard nicer, or a cheap keyboard that's split (though the latter fixes more your shoulders than your hand issues).

I've encountered this with my own writing, when I did voice writing. Causing me to switch back to the computer, as well. Hope you find a solution that doesn't kill your body!!
