Moving around is good for creativity: the next line of dialogue
that you desperately need may well be waiting in the back of the
refrigerator or half a mile along your favorite walk.
- Will Shetterly
Today's word count is 27,419 Nano Writer! And we may have passed the halfway mark yesterday but now is not the time to slow down! Rather we should charge forward as tensions between our characters begin to take their toll, plans made and thwarted, alliances formed and abandoned...
And suddenly you don't know what your protagonist should do next...
Take a walk. Or a shower. Talk about it with a friend. Often the change in perspective will be all you need to see the way out of your character's predicament. For me, my squeaky treadmill is my best novel-writing tool after my laptop ;-)
Questions? Shout outs? Exercise tips? It's all good! Keep it moving, Nano Writer!
