Writers can catch the Zombie Virus


The zombie virus affects all of us sometimes! I know you are saying it does not affect me. I beg your pardon dear reader because it gets all of us.  Let me explain this one.

The zombie virus is that time at work when your brain gets so tired you just have that blah feeling. You want nothing more than to take a quick power nap. Of course, that is impossible because the work will not get done. What are you going to do?  

You could try some energy drink but that would push your blood pressure and heart rate up. Normally this is not a problem but if you got heart illness, it is a big risk.

You could eat some chocolate but that is a bad idea if you are diabetic.  In addition, the chocolate tends to works fast, but it is a brief thing and then you are more tired than you were before.

The trick of course is not to sit on your butt for hours upon hours. If you are writing get up every hour and walk around.  Go for a drink, take a potty break or walk around your yard.  After you have been away from your computer for at least ten minutes come back.

You will notice you are awake, alert and ready to begin anew. Then hidden benefits you will not see are you just lowered your risk of having a blot clot form because you have been sitting for hours.
