Hobbie?

A pensar:

- Switch tools. If you normally use a computer, write with pad and pencil for a while. If you normally write hard sf, write fantasy. Get out of whatever rut you might be in.
- Change your writing environment. Rearrange your study, or go write in the library or a cafe for a while.
- Spend an hour a day in the library researching new ideas.
[Isto não posso fazer porque a biblioteca fica longe e o combustível anda caro. Para quando a comercialização do carro com motor a ar comprimido?]

- Rewrite a story a day. (Works best if you've got a lot of unsold stories lying around.)
[Não tenho. Tenho é muitas sinopses.]

- Take up a hobby. A lot of writers started writing as a hobby, and it slowly became their passion. That's cool, but it left an empty niche in your life where the hobby used to be. Find something else to fill it. You'll be amazed at how much you realize you missed that kind of thing. More to the point: you'll suddenly stop resenting your writing for not fulfilling that need, and you'll start to enjoy it for what it is.

[Está bem, mas o quê? Escultura? Piano? It takes money. Agora arrependo-me não ter aprendido a fazer crochet quando era pequena e a minha mãe me tentou ensinar. Alguém tem sugestões para hobbies? Vou precisar: Acabei de tirar a televisão da sala o_o. Devia pô-la no sotão para não ceder a tentações.]

- Binge! Gear up for a major writing weekend. Get your ideas ready, set a goal, and plan to work every waking hour until you're done. Cook meals ahead of time and freeze them so you can just nuke 'em and keep going. Tell your friends you'll be out of touch. Turn off the phone ringer and put a message on your answering machine telling people to send the cops if they really need to talk to you that bad. Lock yourself in your study and don't come out until you've committed fiction.
[TAMBÉM já pensei nisto, acreditam? Talvez um dia... not yet. Tipo, 8 horas a escrever. Ouch. ]
