Varies: There are several potential causes and hopefully will resolve with rest, as it may have been related to your increased recent writing. Among the more common causes of what you are describing are an inflammation of the tendons or synovium of your wrist from overuse or a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome, which can also be related to overuse. If it does not get better soon, be checked.
