Day Forty Seven - Stay Healthy... Required 129250, Achieved 126976

The thought occurs that if I included all the opinion and update pieces I do, the word count would be thousands higher :)

Not a bad day today, got a break in the middle of the day which was very gratefully used, but I have noted something that in the spirit of helping all the other writers out there, I'm going to share with everyone.

Stay healthy...

I have to sit down for twelve hours at a time, two days a week, and the upshot of that is that it causes a reasonably amount of damage to your legs because absolutely everything settles.

And let me tell you all, whatever word count you get from sitting down at the table for twelve hours...

It's not worth it...

It's worth far more to come back to the table every day and write more, rather than have to spend time getting sciatica seen to, and that's where this leads. I work out most days, free weights for the most part, and I believe with my whole heart that that's why I'm still typing this amount of words every day (and yes, I hear you say, even when I'm nearly a day behind...).  So it's important to keep up with these things, and I'm not preaching, because in the category under buff and chiselled, there is not a picture of me, but it's important to keep the body working so the mind has a good vehicle to drive around.

Another Chapter of World War Wolf today, little darker than usual, but it's about time the story went that way...
