Exercise survey, writing and OnlineComics.net

I drew the above for Illustration Friday this week. Topic: "Under The Sea." For more info about my Little Nightmares drawings and prints, see this page (I've added this link to my Blatherings graphics links in the left-hand navigation bar).

I've been out running 4-5 times a week, usually at lunchtime or at the end of the day. Don't know about the rest of you, but I find that getting regular exercise gives me more energy overall; I don't feel so sluggish by dinnertime. Once in you're in the habit, it's easy to keep it up, of course. But if I slack off, it's always a challenge (for me, anyway) to get back on the horse.

Hm. Y'know, I -would- like to know about the rest of you. I always find other people's exercise habits inspirational, so...Do you make any attempt to get regular exercise? Why or why not? How many hours a week and what kind?

I'm really, really enjoying writing these days. Most other writers out there will know there are always bad days when writing something feels like trying to stick a hyperactive squirrel through the eye of a needle with one hand tied behind your back. Other days, the words just seem to pour out. Just recently, it's switched to the latter. Thanks SO much to my manuscript readers this past week: Jeff, Ruth, Allison and Dave C. I'm hoping to get final revisions finished and my book off to my agent before we leave for Italy.

So much to do, so little time. But 'tis all good...

The frequency of my Blatherings is likely to become more sporadic over the next while as I focus on pre-trip workstuff and other prep. I will likely not be online at all while we're gone.

To fans of my Will Write For Chocolate strip: OnlineComics.net has just approved the addition of my strip (yay!). I'd be very grateful of some of you might consider posting some feedback or adding my comic to your Favourites list, if you're a member (membership is free, and there are a ton of great online comics to browse). Every time someone adds my comic to their Favourites, it boosts my Popularity rating a bit and dangit, I want to be Popular! Thanks, eh?

:-D
