In junior high PE we had a six-week archery class. Uncoordinated as I was, I knew I might be able to do well enough to pull my grade up. My dad took me to an archery place, much like a bowling alley. I loved it. Of course I used their bows, and they were nothing like the fancy one in your photo, but I felt like I was in Sherwood Forest every time I picked it up.

In reply to Orly Konig-Lopez. I agree, Orly. I'm like that with Crossfit and working out. I'm always happy just to be doing it. Why can't I get that Zen with writing?

In reply to barbdelong. Oh, Barb!!!! The thing with horses is that they also teach you to be in the NOW. If you're fretting about something else, they feel it through your body and they'll react accordingly. That lesson translated to writing is to remove distractions. When you're on a horse, you don't think about anything but what you and your mount are doing. When you're writing, you're not thinking about laundry or car pool or what that jerk at the gas station said -- unless, of course, you're writing those into the story. :-)

In reply to astorygoeson. I think it's interesting that we can cut ourselves more slack when it comes to sports (archery for you, climbing for me) or whatever else we do than when it comes to writing.
