I’ve ...EMAIL COMMENT:<br /><br />Hey Val! I loved your blog! <br />I’ve been standing to write for several years now (although at present I’m sitting since I just got off the treadmill). I got a small round ‘bistro table’ which is the perfect height. I keep it in the kitchen where it’s handy for folks to sit at if we’re visiting or having a glass of wine. I really like my stand-up ‘desk’.<br /><br />My daughter works for the State of Oregon Child-Protective Services and they gave her a choice of desks when she started: sit down or stand up. She chose stand up. I think it’s interesting that the stodgy old State gave her that option.<br /><br />Hope to see you around one of these days.<br />Happy Writing!<br />Martha Miller<br />Valerie Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974801169865595635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971026925134956743.post-6989655295394205832015-04-07T11:09:18.356-07:002015-04-07T11:09:18.356-07:00Right now I'm taking a NIA class that is a com...Right now I'm taking a NIA class that is a combo of jazz, kickboxing, and yoga. I also do zumba, a rigorous, thigh hardening dance that I have to modify.<br />I highly recommend NIA as it has a little of everything, but of course, depends on the instructor. I just happen to have one who loves jazz steps. Great for balance, too.Valerie Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974801169865595635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971026925134956743.post-34102699437048613222015-04-07T11:06:00.629-07:002015-04-07T11:06:00.629-07:00EMAIL COMMENT:

(creative computer types)<br /><br />I’m impressed that you stay focused for five hours at a stretch. I was like that years ago with the first draft of “the novel” (still to go through yet another revision.)<br />I’d like to see an article on that. <br /><br />What kind of dance do you do?<br /><br />Samantha WaltzValerie Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974801169865595635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971026925134956743.post-10281168976464658742015-04-07T11:03:27.740-07:002015-04-07T11:03:27.740-07:00EMAIL COMMENT:

But I know what you mean. My body mechanic, as she refers to herself, taught me a great little trick that keeps me upright and not slouched over when I'm writing.<br />Hang something from the ceiling that touches your scalp line when you start to curve forward. It will bounce you to a straight back.<br />Thanks for commenting, Julie!
