We need to take care of ourselves while we are spending endless hours writing at our computers. Just because the NaNoWriMo has officially ended, if you’re like me, you have much writing still to do to get your project ready to see the light of day. We need to do things to keep our thoughts tranquil (OMG! My shoulder is killing me! I don’t have enough time! I’m frikkin’ starving!!) and our anxieties (OMG! I’ll never finish! This is garbage! I have to start over again!!) at bay.
Here are some ideas for tranquilizing winter writing:
- 1. Get an swesome flannel sweater vest at Old Navy that is as comforting as a BLANKIE. 🙂
- 2. Have you seen those microwaveable body blankets? Grampa’s Garden sells them. They are pricey but worth it. Zap for 7 minutes in the microwave and cover your desk chair with it (or slip it under you or over you if you are writing on the couch). You will LOVE it.
- 3. Get a Himalayan Salt Lamp. They create a nice atmosphere and ambiance when you are writing, reportedly purify the air around you (to counteract all the curse words you may be saying or writing!) and make a handy little night light if you need nap. 🙂
Every bit of heat and comfort helps, don’t you think? Does anyone have something to add to my list?

I love the salt lamps. Wonderful decorations and soothing night lights for my wee misses
Aren’t they wonderful? I also have a couple of salt light votives that I put a little battery operated tea light candles in. These are nice at work or other places where an open flame is frowned upon. 😀
