Writing makes my hand ache!!

I've just been taking notes for my ECA (End of Course Assignment) by hand and noticed that I was acting like a petulant teenager asked to write an essay... writing three words, then shaking my hand because it ached and throwing myself across my notes like it was the end of the world. I need some tips on how to write for a fairly long time without my hand/wrist aching because I have to write constantly for an hour for this ECA and since the dawn of the computer (and investing in a laptop), I've not handwritten an awful lot - mainly diary notes in a space 1.5 inches by 4 inches in my filofax and a few notes for work in my day book. I've noticed I write better with either a pencil or a fountain pen BUT, for this assignment, pencil is not allowed and I'm scared of blotting with my fountain pen PLUS we're not in the Victorian era any more!! Sooooo.... any hints AT ALL???

What if you're stuck to your seat in the morning... you'll be like that *mimes trying to get out of seat* . that boy who's ringing up is an actor isn't he? does he go to stage school? Can I have some supper?

Cancer sucks :( It takes the best people, screws with their body, spits them out and leaves them to get on with it. I've had three close family members (and countless friends) battle with cancer. Two of them beat the bastard and one didn't. My Aunt - breast cancer - had a mastectomy, reconstructive surgery and radiotherapy. SURVIVED My Daughter - Neuroblastoma (cancer of the adrenal gland) - at age 14 months - had half a kidney and the adrenal gland removed and chemotherapy. SURVIVED My Father in Law - lung cancer - misdiagnosed at first, too late for treatment. DIED 8 months after diagnosis Why? Why can we create machines to take us round the world and to other planets in the solar system, why can we create technology that allows us instant access to any source of information, why can we immediately create an antibiotic for a pandemic such as swine flu but we can't find a cure for this bastard disease? I have so many issues connected to this disease that I tend ...
