However I only ever write while my daughter is at nursery or early before the kids get up so I'm hanging out with the kids straight after.

Sending healing energies her way.<br /><br />I don't like to get too far my writing, I think it destroys the flow, but I will get up and walk, eat, or watch some TV as a distraction. The one thing I won't do while I'm writing is read someone else's work. I save reading for the end of my writing day.

Sometimes, I take a nap to unwind, or just go for a walk, look at something pretty. Remember to take YOU time. While you are not your character, your character is a part of you. It's important to be able to separate the two :)Lynn(e) Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111991752818662608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-4067914639534392392013-04-28T02:50:35.375+02:002013-04-28T02:50:35.375+02:00My thoughts are with Damyanti and her family.

However, I have already shared her posting via Facebook and other networks. You might note it on my profile. I tried to tell her the blogging community will rally around with their thoughts and prayers for her mother-in-law.<br /><br />Well said and I become my characters, no matter what they are. I believe feeling the emotions of your writing, is conducive to the writing ambience.<br /><br />A peaceful Sunday to you.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-24166601212429489222013-04-28T00:21:09.662+02:002013-04-28T00:21:09.662+02:00Prayers for her family!

Walk, read, different music from writing music, watch a movie, play with dogs, light exercise or stretching. Some combination of all that, depending on what I was writing and how knotted my muscles are.
