Okay, not sure there will be all that much danger involved. But, as it's turned out, I'm going to spend the next six to twelve months as a full-time writer (and hopefully part-time MFA student). I started yesterday, and so far it's glorious - massive productivity, lots of writing, waking up at 8 AM, actually cooking meals. I'm living on savings (hence the wide range in possible length of time) and whatever I can scrape together from writing/web design/etc.
So here goes - day two! Today, I want to write more of my MFA critical essay (part of the application), write at least 1000 more words of CoYA if not more, and the big one, do some plot-significant rewrites suggested for The Novel. Oh, and exercise - I started on the stationary bike yesterday, and I'll do it again today.
I should clarify - I don't expect that I'll be able to continue doing nothing but writing (and some chosen volunteering) after this year ends. This is more of a gap year between college and...real life.

I knew there was a word for it! Yeah, this has totally been a gap year for me.
I feel very European saying that.
"Oh, and exercise - I started on the stationary bike yesterday, and I'll do it again today."
Exercise is a waste of time if your diet isn't coming along for the ride. I think twice myself about exercising because I get put off by everyone else doing it.
unwashedflyer - oh, I don't know, I'm not sure there's ever anything bad about exercising. I'm not exercising to lose weight, I'm doing it because it keeps my body in better shape and helps lower my blood sugars.
