The Fingerless Gloves Debate

Who writes with them?

And if you didn’t raise your glove-covered hand, what are you waiting for?

On the NaNoWriMo forums, there have been a couple of threads focusing on writing gloves. Some people get it, some people don’t: it’s all about feeling like a badass, like a genius in a garret pounding out the next Greatest Novel Ever. Oh, and keeping warm too, if that’s your thing.

I posted a photo of my previous three years’ gloves. And after running up one side of the internet and down the other, I finally found the perfect 2010 fingerless writing gauntlets. They’re a custom job from an etsy seller named mirabeans, based on longer gloves of the same fabric she had in her store. Here’s a photo of them from her site:

Beautiful, huh?

When they arrive, I’ll replace this photo with one of my own. In the meantime, head over there and look at her other gloves and bags. She’s really nice!
