Varicose Veins Stop Writer from Working
Browsing through the news, one comes across the most interesting things. If you're lucky, these things lead you to think about other things and get your creative juices flowing. The more connections that you can make in your mind, the more interconnected all of life feels.
Here's an example of this vein of thought:The Winston County Journal recently ran a first-person
article by a person who was suffering from a
varicose vein infection. The news report wasn't about the infection, but it mentioned in passing that the reporter's normal ability to report the news was hindered because of the need to stay in bed with an elevated leg.
Reading this, one could easily just browse past it. The content wasn't particularly attention-catching. However, it's interesting to think about. After all, you would expect that a
triathloner or a delivery person might have to stop working because of leg vein problems. But a writer? Writers just sit in front of their computers every day, right?
Wrong. Sure, some writers probably operate that way. But real reporters get out there and engage with the world around them. To write about life, they must experience it. You can't experience much when you're stuck in bed needing
vein treatment.
And that's something that writers should think about. Because really, they do spend a lot of time just sitting in front of their computers. And if they don't take the breaks they need, this can cause poor circulation which leads to varicose veins. And that could lead to a decrease in the size of their paychecks!
