This book I write sitting up

This will be the first book in 12 years that I write completely sitting up

(As opposed to lying down)

Because 12 years ago I got tardive dystonia from some medicine I took in the hospital

And I haven't written a book sitting up since then—it's been mostly lying on my front writing on a laptop or tablet—and my last book I wrote partially sitting up and partially lying down

But this book—due to new medicine and due to my wife having gotten us a dog who keeps me out of bed even thought it hurts, this book—I will write completely sitting up—at a desk—on a desktop computer

It's important that I don't sit at the computer too long each day

It's important that (against the nature of my dystonia) I keep my arms relaxed as much as possible

But this book I write sitting up
