Carpal Tunnel syndrome

As a writer it is important that I take care of my hands and wrists because repetitive movements, such as writing or typing, can be crippling.  My carpal tunnel is flaring up and I thought I'd share with you what I do when this happens.





This guy's stretches are amazing, they work every time.  Idealy if you have wrist problems you should be doing these exercises every day, not using them after the pain is already so bad that you can't use a mouse and keyboard, write with a pencil, or even grip a glass.  However, if you have gotten to this point don't think it's too late, these exercises work wonders!!!

Christmas Entertainment

Every year around this time I love to turn the lights down low, turn the christmas tree lights on, and cuddle up with a soft, warm, fuzzy blanket while watching a good Christmas special. 


Well, nothing has changed, I still like it.  I thought I'd share some good links for you to some great sites that will allow you to either watch those Christmas specials online or inform you of when all the Christmas shows are appearing on the good old fashioned television.














Ok.  Well, I hope you enjoy :)

A Cool Dream

Last night I had the coolest dream.  It was like I was in a ghost story, not a scary one, but an intriguing one none the less.  The funny part is at the end, Tom hanks was in it, and he played an important character.  Wow, it was so vivid, and so cool.  I woke up and kept saying get up and write to myself.  Well, I didn't listen to myself and there are holes now in my story, but I have written everything I remember and I think it is going to make a really good story.  When I am done writing and editing and perfecting it I will share it, or a little bit of it anyway, with you.

Just Smile

Not everything in life is fun and you may have had a real crappy day, week, or even year.  Well, I know that you have to keep working to stay positive.  I got layed off on Friday from my job, I graduated from college a year ago and still haven't been able to find decent, steady, well paying work.  I haven't bought myself new clothes in...I can't remember...a year...2...3...I'm not sure.  I've had to be really frugal, I've had to make sacrifices, I have holes in all my clothes, lol.  Yes, sometimes that gets me down, but I'm ok.  I'm alive, I'm healthy, and I know that I will make it through this rough patch.  I have dreams and goals that inspire me and keep me going.  I know that it will all work out in the end.

Some of the things that I do to keep myself from breaking down and giving up are:

  1. writing in a journal
  2. creating small achievable goals
  3. walking for sanity, to clear my mind
  4. drinking 16 oz of water before each meal
  5. surrounding myself with humor and cute stuff (aka fuzzy stuff that makes you go awwww)
  6. surrounding myself with people I love (family/friends)
Well here are some things that I found today that made me smile:

Are You a Writer Too?

Write Pictures, Images and Photos

If you like to write and want to become a better writer then we have something in common. I am and always will be trying to improve my writing by reviewing grammar rules, doing writing exercises, always being open to constructive criticism and well, reading, reading, reading. Oh and lets not forget the most important thing, writing.

I happened to have stumbled upon a pretty cool website while infact stumbling with stumbleupon.com's toolbar. It is awesome and I wanted to share the link with you. It has writing games, writing exercises, recommended websites, and even more.

Enjoy:
