In response to   "... After all, on Shabbat You have  decreed that one  
cannot write.
How then, can You fulfill 'On Rosh Hashanah it is written down'?"
Chana wrote:
I clearly must be missing something.  Last I heard, writing was not  
included
in ochel nefesh, and prohibited on Yom Tov too, so this ought to be true
every year.

Chana, you are absolutely correct and I thought the exact same thing.
However, it is not my midrash. Were I to have been smart enough to
write such a midrash, I would have written:  "After all on Shabbat AND
Yom Tov, You have decreed that one cannot write..." etc.

Therefore, it ought to be true every year, as you said. So we'd all be
the recipient of even more chessed.
