(Originally I used it to recover from depression, and it's been very effective for that.)<br />I'd love to reiterate a couple of things that have helped me as a writer--physical activity (ties in nicely to being a kid and doing something new) and giving back (ties into critique groups and supporting local writers.) Giving back or passing it on keeps the good energy moving, and is particularly beneficial when you are a little stuck.Valerie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11758911381025785158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753047208077056954.post-75226077115638794442010-01-02T14:01:41.677-08:002010-01-02T14:01:41.677-08:00Scott, this is a great list.

I would add that being a children's author, means spending time with kids. If you don't have any, volunteer at a school or library.Penny Lockwood Ehrenkranzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983626205076412048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753047208077056954.post-75851090027659988882010-01-02T12:46:48.809-08:002010-01-02T12:46:48.809-08:00Great ideas and suggestions!
