This is an intense month and there is the possibility of over doing it and even the strong possibility of getting sick, so please take care of yourself. Even though there is not a lot of free time try to eat balanced meals, perhaps even take a daily vitamin. Perhaps a possible fate worse than getting sick is the possibility of a hand or wrist injury. Doing this amount of writing all of the sudden can lead to stress on your hands and wrists so take frequent breaks while writing. I encourage you to stretch out your hands, shake them out. When I write at home I do a ten minute session then get up and do some moving for five to ten minutes. It givess my eyes a break my hands a break , and my body a chance to move. I find my numbers actually move up faster this way because I stay fresher longer.

If anyone else has advice or you start to have problems that relate ask or comment here. Lets keep healthy and safe this November.
