Wait a minute--I've been wasting my time paying attention to craft and promo and you're saying that if I do more running (or biking or whatever--but running is my thing) I'll be a best seller? I'll tell you the truth, I always thought you had to be OLD to be a best seller--I haven't pinpointed the age yet--but it was older than me. None of those folks look like teenagers. Boy, have I missed the boat.<br />

As to the boredom factor, I tend to run with a book on my MP3. It has to be really good to get me up some of those hills. On the other hand, I thought that was just more research on craft for the writing. When all this time, what I needed was to subscribe to Runner's World and get more in shape. Dang! What size exactly am I supposed to aim for? The old age thing was easier--I was getting there anyway. LOL!!!tag:crimespace.ning.com,2009-02-08:537324:Comment:1806092009-02-08T22:26:07.564ZI. J.

There's new hope for couch potato writers who are currently <i>sans</i> seven-figure book deals. A recent study showed that habitual <a href="http://www.thetimesonline.com/articles/2003/01/09/features/lifestyles_and_living/c75670e980c9995886256ca00067ce94.txt">fidgeting</a> can make you thin--no killer workouts required.

Could be your causal arrow is headed in the wrong direction Jude. Could be success leads to skinny not vice versa. All that stress of having to punch out a best selling novel every twelve months, the 18 hour day book tours through multiple continents, the crazy fans and stalker potential, Hollywood mutilating your babies. Could lead to lots of chemical dependency, a whisky and ciggies diet. :)

Anne Rice is a person of some substance, I believe. Or maybe "mass" is the better word.
