Write While You Walk
This year, I'm living with three friends in an apartment that is a ten-minute walk from campus. I actually enjoy the walk to class in the morning. It gives me time to think and daydream and brainstorm writing ideas. Sometimes I write a rhyming poem in my head, or I mull over a problem I am having with my latest story, or I mentally describe the people and scenery around me, soaking in the details: the elbow patches on that old man's jacket, the specks of broken glass glittering in the sidewalk concrete, the whir of a lawnmower a couple houses away. I might let these wonderful details pass me by if I wasn't paying attention, with my writer-mind in full gear.   
 
I ask you to consider, how might taking a 10-to-20-minute walk in the morning or on your lunch break or after school boost your productivity, not to mention improve your health? If you have a dog, I'm sure he'd love the exercise, too! :)
