Writing is hard on the body.  I find myself constantly countering the Hunchback of Notre Dame syndrome in various ways.  I have dogs, which gets me off my butt and out in the world and that’s an amazing gift when you are stuck at a computer.   Writing has turned me into an avid snacker and coffee drinker.  There is a reward system I build into my writing routine that has definitely impacted my waistline, at times.  It’s hard to be sedentary for long periods of time and eat whatever you want!  Boo!  I wish I could get that law changed, for sure.
