I will "role play" a movement, to see how my rolls roll, so I can describe on paper how my character rolls.
I drink a lot of water/tea so I have to void a lot, so I can avoid getting stuck permanently to the couch in front of my laptop.
And sometimes I take a break from writing and Zentangle. What in the he** is Zentangle, you ask? Google it. But be prepared. If you're a doodler, you'll become addicted...quickly.

That zentangle art of yours is zen perfect. I sneak off to the kitchen to grab a few more dark chocolate covered pretzel crisps :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those are the perfect combination of sweet and salty...
DeleteYou are so talented! Love the Zentangle!
ReplyDeleteMy breaks from writing usually involve picking up carpool or emptying the dishwasher.
Donna--
DeleteI imagine--knowing you--that you probably do some prewriting in your head while you tooling around with kids or emptying the dishwasher. Right?
That's really neat!
ReplyDeleteI pace.
Mama Zen--Well, as brief as some of your poems are, does that mean you only need a small closet to pace in? ;)
DeleteThat is totally cool. Oh, what a Zentangle you weave when first you practice to relieve.
ReplyDeleteVal--You are TOO much the punster...Is there anything you refuse to get snarky/SA/SD about? (Curious minds want to know...)
DeleteWell...usually, if I can't say anything snarky, I don't say anything at all. I don't consciously TRY to appear disrespectful. I suppose that when I take a break from writing, I should be putting myself in timeout.
DeleteI have been watching all the episodes of the old ABC show "Once & Again" that I can lay my hands on. I am very good at doing zilch. I really only have two speeds; full speed ahead, and stopped.
ReplyDeleteShay--
Delete"Once and Again" is a show I don't even remember. Refresh my swiss-cheese-for-memory, please.
Sela Ward played a divorced mom who meets divorced architect Rick. They find out whether love really is sweeter the second time around. The show was wonderfully written, acted and directed. I absolutely loved it and have recently rediscovered it, though the third season is not available on dvd! Grr.

I don't think Sela Ward ever did anything bad. She was in at least one cheesy series, but she herself did a wonderful job in it.
DeleteThanks. I don't remember ever hearing about it, and I know I never saw an episode.
Wow, Sioux! You are multi-talented! I think your drawings are way more than just "doodles"! I have plenty of time wasting activities, but one of my favorites is to nap. I just really do not have a lot of energy....never have. You should start entering art contests! Really!
ReplyDeleteI like naps, too. ;)
DeleteHoly Crap Sioux... you're an artist, too?!?!?!? I LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteBeth--Isn't it still Lent? What happened?
DeleteI love your Zendoodling.
ReplyDeleteYOU love MY art? You are crazy-talented when it comes to art, Lynn.
