But 3 hours sound daunting. :-P <br /><br />Glad you find it helpful, Carol. <br /><br />Crystal yeah ten minute sprints might work better for you. :-D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Liz. <br /><br />I definitely find it easier to be more productive that way, Southpaw. <br /><br />Madeline, the cramps are only an issue for the first few days. Your hand muscles get fit after that. These days I only really start feeling my hand aching at about 5k words in a day. :-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-48980506687166371692014-07-09T19:54:44.110-05:002014-07-09T19:54:44.110-05:00Writing is a lot like physiological warfare.

I'm starting to redraft/rewrite (who's counting anymore?) a WIP, and doing it by hand may be just what I need despite the hand cramps. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-77823724504280217302014-07-09T15:06:53.599-05:002014-07-09T15:06:53.599-05:00Sprint is a good idea.

I like your idea on just working on them all (more or less) in shifts. I'll give that a try.H. R.
