How To Stay In Shape As A Writer
Sep 30, 2022
- Stop pretending that you need — or don’t need — special treatment.
- Accept your limitations: time and activity level.
- Acknowledge your physical needs, ie: muscle imbalances and postural distortion from the writing process. (It’s okay to hunch over the emotional intensity of the craft — just plan on what exercises are going to mitigate it!)
- Embrace the challenge. (Notice that I never said it was going to be easy to fix posture, and worse.)
- Write humorous Medium articles on writer-fitness to hold yourself accountable.
Step 5 is optional.
How do you stay fit during the craft? Genuine question!
