Conversations with Calliope- Recharging the WriterConversations with Calliope- Writing and Health
(Tapas and Sangria in Gijon)
JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe.
What's turning in your brain this morning?
JOE: Electrons mostly.
Although I must admit my mind is filled with random thoughts
today.
CALLIOPE: Care to share one?
JOE: Sure. The
relationship between writing and health keeps popping up.
CALLIOPE: Please elaborate.
JOE: I tend to get bored easily. When
I do, I tend to eat more than I should and gravitate toward comforting
but unhealthy food such as sugar.
CALLIOPE: I see. Do you have a
plan to deal with this?
JOE: Not getting bored would probably
short circuit the process. The problem is that eating is less effort
that being creative.
CALLIOPE: No argument there but it also
undermines your good intentions and does not accomplish anything
positive.
JOE: Exactly. Sometimes writing excites me and satisfies
me. When I meet roadblocks, I tire of dragging them off my road and
sit down for a snack.
CALLIOPE: A definite problem.
JOE: No
doubt. One answer would be not to become frustrated.
CALLIOPE: How
do you do that?
JOE: Good question. Let me think on it. Talk with
you tomorrow.
