Alright everyone, as the title says, I'm going on a temporary forced hiatus.

Why?

Because of my hands. It's actually not carpal tunnel (as I originally thought), but tendonitis.

Tondonitis is when the tendons become inflamed for a variety of reasons, and the action of pulling the muscle becomes irritating. If the normal smooth gliding motion of your tendon is impaired, the tendon will become inflamed and movement will become painful. This is called tendonitis, and literally means inflammation of the tendon.

And this is what I have. I have over-stressed my hands typing and writing, and basically I have to stop any excessive writing or typing to recover.

Which for me basically means a computer hiatus.

Which means I will limit my time on the computer to in the morning before I go to school (6 AM -6:30 AM), right after I come home from school (3PM to 3:45PM) and right before I go to bed (10:30PM - 11 PM). Those will be the best times to catch me if you need to contact me.

If I don't respond to your comments/journals/replies/notes, it's because of my hands. It's hurting me to type this right now.

I'm not sure when this hiatus will end, but it will probably be beginning to mid-November at the earliest.

This hiatus includes: stories, anything computer related [deviant art, cosplay(dot)com, fanfiction(dot)net, everything] anything writing related, betaing, etc etc.

This hurts me just as it hurts you guys. I basically live on the computer so this will mean a hard time adjusting for me...maybe it'll help boost my grades too. XD

I'll do my best to answer comments and replies, but no promised.

-Love, Toasty
