I've always wanted to be a busy writer. Lately I have so many writing projects that I can't find the time to go hiking, which is my great leisure time passion.

Oh, well. I asked for it.

You could pick up a voice activated recorder, hike and let your mind wander as you dictate your next award winning novel!!!
ReplyDeleteI actually tried that once. I didn't care for the results. Rod Serling wrote that way. He'd dictate into a tape recorder and then have the scripts/stories typewritten by a secretary. It amazes me that he was able to do that...just quote those words straight into the recorder that way.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a balancing act to stay productive and stay fit. In 2007, I was productive as hell, but I was 30 lbs heavier, chained to a computer day in and day out, and my blood pressure and cholesterol were through the roof. I don't write nearly as much now, but I'm ten times healthier, physically and mentally. Well... physically.
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to write a lot and still have time to hike. But the nature of my job now is that I'm so exhausted when I get home every day that I generally go to bed soon after getting out of the shower. It's my own fault, I reckon, for having a job of hard physical labor.
ReplyDeleteI signed contracts to write two novels and I am compelled to finish them with all due attention to detail. Thus, I am glued to the keyboard at least until September when I head to Colorado to go backpacking in the Weminuche Wilderness.
