Read. Read ferociously. Devour everything. Read aloud. Read with friends. Read outside your comfort zone. Always be reading.
Take a break to write. Write about what you read. Writing is thinking and thinking is hard. You won't want to do this too much. But you should try it to anyway to stay sharp.
Talk to your neighbors. Get to know them. Lend them your books. Invite them over for tea. Play games. Share stories. Help them with chores. Get involved in their lives.
Put down your phone. Use the Internet deliberately and in small doses.
Keep a garden. And read in it.

- agentultra 8y agoI agree! The only thing more intuitive than a pen is perhaps a blade. Writing on a computer is messy and full of temptations to resist. When it's just paper there's nothing and that is important: you need space and time for your own thoughts!
