Day 49: "Writers should have a physical hobby"

"The gifted writer Jo-Ann Mapson, who has published a half dozen novels, believes that writers should have a physical hobby. “Something that takes you away from books and criticism, because it teaches you, it informs you, and it changes your writing.”"

I play basketball. The problem is I am way too much into it, every time I lose a game I feel very bad about myself. Also, when the team I support lose the game, I feel super-bad.

Don't know how to fix this problem!

I sometimes also swim. Should I just change to swimming instead? But I know it's impossible.

But the point is to have something else to take away the attention, to distract ourselves from all the writing and negativism. Then when we come back we have a fresh start. Hopefully.
