Day 6 Prompt: For today’s prompt, I decided to use the alternative prompt, as I have already profiled my most-read blogs. Here’s the alternative prompt: Share a personal interest or hobby that you have aside from writing – how has this inspired and impacted your writing? Required: at least one photo!

Nature (whether it be gardening, hiking, or simply sitting and living in the moment) and writing are deeply intertwined in my mind. I don’t know if I could have one without the other. When I hike alone in the woods, I find myself rolling words around in my head as I walk. It is common for me to wrap up a hike with an intense writing session.
And here’s my required photo:

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
