Aside from the injury sustained when banging your head on the keyboard in frustration, how can one avoid injury during something like NaNo? Serious question here! I know that sometimes when I go on writing binges (whether typing or writing longhand), I end up with things like back strain, wrist pain or
elbow pain and I have to take a few days off from writing so that it doesn't develop into a more serious problem. Obviously, during NaNo, I don't want to take a week off, but I can see any of these strains as being a very real consequence.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks for avoiding injury? Exercises or postures or ways to schedule your writing time?
