I lived in the far north for many years. I taught school there for awhile. It was a very different life from what most people get to see. I wanted to tell others about it. That's all really. Or else... I signed up for NaNoWriMo one year and my experience in the north was the only thing I knew enough about to fill up my daily quota.

I spend 8 months of the year listening to ball games and drawing pictures or sculpting. I get bored and need a change of pace. (And there isn't any baseball on the radio the other 4 months.)

I'm revising a group of short stories and flash fiction I wrote a decade ago. Some of them have been published. All of them need some work. They seem like strangers now.

1] Read a lot. Language is a pretty amorphous thing to grapple with. It's a good idea to have some samples before trying to put your ideas into words. 2] Stop reading and go do something. You need to do something before you have anything to write about.

It's an indoor sport. That means warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Water is always right there when you want it; so is chocolate. Best of all, it's easy to stay injury free most of the time.

I run. It takes about 25 km to cure writer's block on a particular day. If I spread the cure over week then I'd go for something over 70 km.
