Online on how writers can address problem pain areas. I explained a simple neck-drill that works wonders for eliminating neck and shoulder pain. Now it’s time to address the second in the trifecta of writers’ pain woes: The Headache.

Online to read my most recent column on neck and shoulder pain. It’s also the first in a three-part series on what I call the trifecta of writer’s pain — the neck and shoulders, headaches, and carpal tunnel.

Each of the articles in the series talks about what I most commonly see with my clients who complain of pain in these areas, and describe in detail the drill or drills I assign my clients to address these issues.

My critically important caveat is that because every person is unique, I can’t guarantee that what I describe will work for you. I can only tell you what I have experienced personally and what my clients have reported. As always, there is no substitute for seeing a practitioner in person.

Online.

My March column was just posted today: The Eyes Have It.  I have three simple-to-implement tips for maintaining your eyes and pushing through to finish that most recent assignment.

In February I talked about Respiration, and the impact that poor breathing habits can have on everything you do.

WriteOn! is a writer’s support group that focuses on goal-setting, troubleshooting, and networking. They meet in person in Santa Monica, or you can virtually join this group online at WriteOn! Online. It’s great for accountability, ideas, and light critique.
