Hike & Write

Yesterday included a hike up the hill behind Brand Library. The trail is found along side the road that runs right behind the library building. It's a well-marked, narrow trail that begins as a switchback going along the hill but then for the most part heads straight up - no mamby-pamby, winding back and forth in a leisurely climb (like some trails in Griffith Park). If you want a challenge going both up and making your careful trek down (wear shoes with deep treads), Brand Library trail is highly recommended. What does this have to do with writing, you ask.

I find my mind is so busy with right brain, problem solving thinking that the editor shuts up for a whole hour and I come off the hill with a fresh perspective and new ideas practically popping out through my fingers.


Oh, and the view at the top - spectacular.
