I saw in Random Terrain's recent blog post that his hand cramps up when holding a pen or pencil.
Around 1980 I noticed a friend who held her pencil in an odd looking way so I asked her about it. It was the way they taught her to hold it at a school she used to attend before moving to McHenry, Illinois.
Always open to new things, I decided to try it out for a week. While it felt odd, I'm glad I gave it a week as my hand stopped cramping up when doing homework. I've never switched back to the "traditional method".
That odd looking way is to place your writing instrument between your index and middle fingers:
and grasp it with the tips of your thumb, index and middle fingers:
Try it for a week and you just might decide it works well for you too!
