Thanks for that.<br /><br />Barrie: Hi! I don't currently have a dog, but they are definitely good walking companions, so interested in the world. I like the 'work out kinks' idea, too, because there's something about walking that does loosen knots inside us.<br /><br />Linda: Hey there, what a neat idea--medicine for the writer.

I think they're the best medicine for a writer, because you think up the best parts of your story on a walk, like deep emotional human-experience themes. I really appreciated the book "On Writing" by Stephen King because he talked about how much he loved to take his walks. I think that book was actually inspired by the one walk he took where a car hit him (or maybe it wasn't--sounds good to me anyway!).Linda Kagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259042112816376940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777245334432005091.post-10123937784387420292009-11-22T22:40:40.301-08:002009-11-22T22:40:40.301-08:00Walking definitely helps me come up with new ideas...Walking definitely helps me come up with new ideas and/or work out the kinks it what I'm writing.

But there, popping their heads above the white, were two dead blossoms, their petals still clinging to the color yellow. <br /><br />It was just one of those moments, this one reminding me to appreciate each day as it comes. <br /><br />And I love to walk- I come up with great ideas while walking. And driving. <br /><br />I'll definitely be back to check out your blog!Stephanie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437077559099315853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777245334432005091.post-82950560700627283702009-11-22T18:14:02.325-08:002009-11-22T18:14:02.325-08:00Walking is my passion.
