During long stretches of writing, I usually write in fifty-minute blocks with ten-minute breaks.

And what do I do in those breaks?

Lately, I have been going to my balance board for five of those precious ten minutes.

I am not sure it helps my creative process, but it certainly is fun; I feel like I am on a surfboard for a few moments, and maybe, just maybe, I am getting a little bit of exercise.

So, at least for the time being, surf’s up fellow writers!
