A Research Question
Here's something new for The IWW Blog. It's an experiment to see if the blog can become a tool to help fellow IWW members with writing projects.

Whenever possible I tug myself away from the keyboard, rearrange half the stuff in my writing room, open my treadmill, and do a walking/jogging routine. I chuckle at squirrels out the window while my thoughts roam freely. Often when I'm sweatiest, an idea or solution to a writing problem appears. Now I'm working on an essay about my saga with exercise and written expression. I would appreciate input regarding how much or little fellow writers do to stay in shape. The information I gather will probably become general terms and informal statistics for background, but if I want to quote you specifically, I will contact you. Write me at deannahershiser(at)gmail(dot)com to relate your answers to any or all of the following questions:
- How often do you exercise?
- What's your favorite form of moving those muscles?
- Has exercise made a difference in any way regarding your writing? (For example, starting a program helped; or injuries hurt.)
- Give an example of receiving an idea or solving a writing-related problem while you were exercising in some way.
