I’m Planning Something a Little Crazy… and It Just Might Work
This one’s about me — and a cooky plan I’m cooking up
I rarely write stories about myself.
But, I felt this one was important — mainly for accountability.
I love walking.
It’s like creative steroids for me.
Every time I get outside for a walk/hike I’m flooded with new ideas. I gain new perspectives, goals, and return home feeling like a new person.
In fact, 90% of my writing content comes from daily walks/hikes.
If it weren’t for walking, my writing would look very different — and I’d enjoy it far less.
So, I have this kind of wild idea.
Where I live (in Vancouver, Canada), we only get about 90–120 days of sun per year. So, in the summer, I try to get outside as much as possible.
Lately, I’ve been noticing I don’t need to sit at my computer to do a lot of my work. I can write, edit, and format stories all from my phone.
Developing ideas is the hard part — writing them down is easy.
