I have no doubt!

Teaching music is such a gift. Lots of hard work, but what a return on your investment!
Jay O'Toole Author Icon - Thanks for your kind comments here and the other day! *Heart*
BattywynšŸŽ¶Prep! Author Icon - You are most welcome. It's my honor.

After another couple hours writing on my laptop in an office chair pulled up to a coffee table with a top that lifts up and out to desk height, my back is aching again. Mobile phones and tablets are convenient for sudden inspiration or unexpected free time, but glide typing, voice typing, and handwriting-to-typing, while incredibly fast and efficient (well, all but the latter, which is just comforting and gives me time to mull), are infuriatingly inaccurate. And my arm gets tired.

What positions and writing methods have you found work best for you, and why? What are your least favorite, and why?

Jay O'Toole Author Icon - Jay, I also love being outdoors, but it's getting a bit cold for that up here in Ohio. Today we had a high of 58 F and a low of 36 F. Brr.

Baron Ravenloft Author Icon - Sorry to hear your wife requires so much care. I'm sure she wishes she had more independence. *Heart*
BattywynšŸŽ¶Prep! Author Icon - I understand. Weā€™re dancing around 60 at night.
I hear you. I have neck, arm, back issues too. I have a height-adjustable ā€œMouse & Keyboard Tray Under Desk, 28x10'' Large Slide Out Swivel Tilt Keyboard with Mouse Pad for Home Office Deskā€ from Amazon. While typing I can lean back on my heating pad that also has a neck wrap. I also use one of these https://a.co/d/66ZEwWv I feel like an astronaut tucked in for for launch.
I won't be around much the next three days:

PNGravebound- šŸ““ Author Icon - Ah. Ok. I see now. sorry. *Cry*
PNGravebound- šŸ““ Author Icon - No worries. You could have guessed "Inagaddadavida". *Laugh*
Scary_Soldier_Mike Author Icon - Thank you.
I spend way too much time revising the rules of my various activities to make them as brief as possible so participants will actually read them - you know, for a reading and writing website. *BookStack*

Waltz in the Lonesome October Author Icon - Hunting for the right pun? Check the tools on your belt. PS: I am Sirius, and don't call me Shirley. *Laugh*
BattywynšŸŽ¶Prep! Author Icon - For the record, that's not Orion's sword; it's his "sword." Though I suppose the distinction is rather... nebulous.
