Becoming a Better Writer (While Not Writing)

Pretty good list of ideas to help keep the creative juices flowing while you're not writing. I especially liked 4 and 5:

4. Live life with passion. Do the things on your bucket list. Stretch
beyond your comfort zone. Climb a mountain. Jump out of a plane. Serve soup at a
shelter. Dine in a restaurant alone.

5. Take trips. Fly, drive or ride your bike.
Dig a well in Africa or lie on a beach in San Diego or discover just how big
Texas really is when you drive across it... just go.

I've been feeling a strong pull towards number one recently:

1. Be creative any way you can. Cook new recipes. Paint a picture. Design a
garden. Compose a song. Build something with Legos. Organize the garage.

Especially the idea of painting of all things. How strange is that?
