I did this afternoon, finally, after taking a longer time than I would have believed possible, and despite the Evil Landlord's bronchitis germs having developed into full-blown 'flu, slay the final encyclopedia entry in my apparently endless list. 4500 words on fairy-tale film have now perished, requiring something in the league of a 4-bore shotgun, and considerable stalking. In the last year, I have written 30 750 words for this encyclopedia.

Guess I can get cracking on those book updates, then. Sigh.

Book!

Yes! Book, book, gooooooo book! Today I have written 113 words. You could beat that with your arms tied behind your back. Well, metaphorically speaking ... I'm quite pleased with them, but have been struggling since K's morning nap to create the next paragraph.

Needn't be metaphorical. As long as you don't mind words like "trdy", "ttrgfhb ", and "ioik KL:" it's pretty easy to type with your hands behind your back. Bit rough on the forehead, though.

Pah! Real professional handless typers use their tongues! :D

see, like thisx

Only, people are strangely not keen to use your keyboard afterwards!

Or, a pencil held between the teeth.

If you can really type 113 words with your tongue, sir, then I have some female friends I should really be introducing you to. ;-)

I'd be interested to read those 4500 words on fairy-tale film. Would you mind emailing them to me?
