Hmmm, part of the reason I have lots of shoulder pain right now is because of my master’s…all that typing, while I had to do a lot of typing at work too. So you might want to be careful about taking on a creative writing challenge at the same time as a thesis.

At the same time, I know that sometimes you need a break from all the thinking in your thesis! Or you need something to kind of channel those ideas in a similar yet related direction.

But I would really caution you to take care of your body while you’re working intensely on a thesis. Unless you’re doing a large percentage of your writing using voice to text technology while taking walks or something healthy like that…maybe it’s not about the best time to sign up for an additional heavy writing challenge. I mean, the master’s thesis is basically a writing challenge that you signed up for, and paid for! So it deserves your attention :-)

Anyway, the sign up period for get your words out is already over! You might be able to email the mods to get your way in, but I’m not sure.

Maybe instead of that, you could kind of set yourself an unofficial challenge to work on your master’s thesis X amount of time a week, get X amount of exercise each week, and maybe do a little creative writing each week?
