So I do most of my writing on my laptop. It's a Toshiba with a wide screen and full keyboard with number pad. It's nice and I love it. But using a laptop also means I spend most of my time writing while sitting in my couch recliner seat. One thing a laptop keyboard is not is ergonomic. We type most words with our left hand...but my ring ring finger and pinky get very sore after many hours of typing at the computer.
Yet another reason to get the spare bedroom cleaned out and to reclaim my desk. It might not change my keyboard into a finger-friendly ergonomic delight, but it will elevate my hands, take pressure off my writsts and maybe keep my fingers from dying a slow painful death.
In fact, after 8-plus hours of writing today (content writing, not creative writing) I'm ready for a break. Let's keep this short and sweet. What do you do to keep your hands, fingers, writs and arms from aching after hours at a keyboard?
You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil. Writers are also unafraid of toil, and I happen to be both a Hufflepuff and a writer. So I shall toil away!
