One of the main problems I confront when writing essays (mainly in English) is that I grip my pen too hard and that eventually tires out my elbow and upper arm...what's a good way to relax my hand and fingers so that I can write more "lightly" and loosen my grip?

hand chopped off means u don't have to do your exam... tho the inconvenience seems like it would outweigh that advantage :(

Yeah i used to get that problem. Usually its just a habbit you can't get rid of. Like i get so worked up as to grip the edge of the table during exams... which after 3 hours produces one dead arm... ANYWAY

My advice is GET A GOOD PEN!!

I just bought some Paper Mate, Gel Rollar Ball II retractable ones, and theyre great (go my product whoring)

But seriously having a pen with a nice grip that doesn't drag makes a HUGE difference to the overall well being of your arm.

Just find a pen thats comfortable, with a nice grip, easy to write with, then buy 10 of them and don't look back.

And if all else fails just shake your arm like a mad man being attacked by an invisible pihrana, and ontop of that he has parkinsons. NOTHING beats a good shake.
