Writing Gloves
I started writing the summer of 2003. This summer will mark 10 years for me. For the entire ten years I’ve worn writing gloves whenever I’m writing. To date, I have over 100 published stories of varying length (short to full novel plus). When I’m pulling sixteen hour days I wear what I term the industrial strength gloves. Sometimes I’ll also sleep in them if I’m working like mad. They do limit mobility and require something of a learning curve to get used to. On normal writing days (6-8 hours) I wear the less intense ones. These are a little easier to get used to and afford you more movement.
I couldn’t possibly tell you if I’ll develop problems with my fingers/wrists/hands but I do know that I’m trying everything in my power to prevent it and to care for my hands. They are my money makers for sure.
