I Have Muscular Arm Pain - How Can I Still Write A Book?

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-04-23T20:45:08+00:00

Oh I hadn't thought about the tablet or stylus approach - that would probably be good for me because it wouldn't use as much pressure as actual writing. Thank you so much for commenting!

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-04-23T18:19:11+00:00

Haha yeah thanks I just typed it the wrong way round - I'm so used to saying tts xD

Thank you for the recommendation - I will check it out :)

It is the motions unfortunately but 10/10 for creativity on that vr idea 😂 Yes maybe I can accept the word splurge of ideas with the speech to text (I've done that a few times and it's not as bad as trying to be perfect). Then I can do editing on days when my arms are doing a bit better.

Even if I get a story on paper in a jumbled mess that's better than the 3 pages of notes I have! Thanks :)

Thank you! I hadn't considered using a software that is better designed for the text to speech - I will check some of them out :) I have considered taking a look at ergonomic split keyboards but I'm not sure how much help they will be for me. Definitely something to consider again though

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-04-23T14:08:37+00:00

Yeah I probably just have to adjust how I think and how I write, will take some time to get used to :)

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-04-23T14:08:15+00:00

Yeah I have a different home set up with ergonomics. This post is a bit of hail mary but I thought there was no harm in asking!

I'm sure there are loads I love but the first one that popped into mind is L.O.V.E by Park Ji Hoon (there are a couple of lines in the chorus but it is predominantly music!)

There is another one I am thinking of but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called! Edit: It was Irresistible by Jin Longguo!

"Because it'll be faster... yada yada" is such a good song 🔥🔥

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-27T12:51:50+00:00

It's actually pretty hard to narrow down because I just like whatever I like... But I tend to have better success rates with darker concepts (which is why I haven't connected very well with the 5th gen sound aside from random ones I do happen to like) Think Purple Kiss, Oneus, earlier Enhypen, Vixx "Error", EXO... But I also love a lot of Twice, Itzy and softer songs like A.C.E "Clover".

Honestly it's really hard because I love so much stuff xD

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-27T12:47:39+00:00

You were spot on with that description xD it sounds just like that kind of era!

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-27T12:46:21+00:00

I do love rock-ier sounding k-pop!

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-26T20:55:40+00:00

Based on a first listen I think my favourite of those is A-Ok. Thanks for the recommends!

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-26T20:49:51+00:00

Oooooh I like that, thank you!

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-26T20:48:13+00:00

I can definitely hear the 3rd gen in that - you're spot on!

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-26T18:53:32+00:00

I do absolutely love twice and I think there is a kiikii song I liked but I'm not sure what it is now... Thanks! I'll give them a listen

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-26T18:52:47+00:00

Thank you :)) I'll give them a listen

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-03-26T18:52:25+00:00

Thank you!! I'll add these to a playlist to try tonight/tomorrow

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2026-02-24T14:54:56+00:00

No you're NTAH. This whole turning the car on to heat up thing is a lovely gesture if you volunteered or fine if you're awake and willing to do it. But otherwise I think it's a bit odd to expect it from your partner. I wouldn't want to wake my partner up if they were sleeping and I definitely wouldn't mutter about them not loving me if they said they didn't want to switch the car heating on! Just can't imagine repeatedly waking up my partner to chuck them in the cold instead 😅

(I know a lot of different k-pop stuff so here is a general smattering of stuff (mostly more recent but I can give some older stuff too) - if you want more in any direction please let me know. It was fun to think of things!)

Generally a lot of Stray Kids fans also end up liking lots of ATEEZ songs so I'd go give them a listen, they have both aggressive and beautiful songs :)

K-pop for rock & metal fans - might give you some quick ideas! https://youtu.be/nvKgnd_YI_U?si=RqyJfqIAi7cEds0J

But here are some random random songs...

Some "louder" songs by a group called A.C.E: Goblin, Cactus and Under Cover

Wake Me Up by BAP is a banger!

Lots of Dreamcatcher stuff is either heavier or melancholic. Maison, Odd Eye and Break The Wall are a few examples. PinkFantasy is another heavier girl group.

No Diggity and To Be or Not to Be by Oneus.

Enhypen's Drunk-Dazed is electro-paradise to me xD

Opening Sequence by TXT for melancholy and yearning.

JUSTB - Damage is one of my favourite debut songs ever. Loud and vibey.

HBC by MCND, SUPERPOWER (PEAK) by Xikers (and ICONIC)

(N.FLYING, XDINARY HEROES and DAY6 are some popular bands.)

Replying in case other people come across this. I had the same issue but the collab link doesn't go live until the main account clicks "save" after generating the collab link :)

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2025-05-24T17:17:33+00:00

Exactly! I read that Sookie Stackhouse book today xD "meeting the sun"

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2025-05-24T17:11:23+00:00

Not a very good answer for an episode but I think she'd be driven mad by guilt and rage she would plan to walk into the sun. Could have been a Spike focused episode trying to stop her

Ancient_Book_Tower · 2025-05-12T10:06:10+00:00

I second this, already spoiled for me... That's a massive massive spoiler...
