Conner Ney 3/03/2022 12:31 PMTaking a walk can not only help clear my brain, but it can inspire me a lot with my fictional writing depending on what I see or what ideas I can think of. I'm also one who takes their time so I get to appreciate the life around me, from the clouds to the grass. I feel very connected to nature at times, and sometimes I feel like daytime should never end; nature is truly beautiful and I wish I could lay in the grass and run without getting tired. My writing has helped me appreciate nature more and I'm extremely grateful for that.
