Writers’ Roundup: May 20

Friday! And a spring Friday, which makes it all that much better.

I hope you get away from your computer this weekend, but if you’re looking for online reads, here are my recommendations:

• If you don’t feel like running or writing, do it anyway, says Chris Guillebeau. “The days I feel bad about my writing aren't the days when I've written poorly,” he writes. “It's the days where I've done everything but write—those days are killer.”

• Walking is the age-old form of travel, says Paul Theroux via Rolf Potts’ blog. And the best part? You can do it anywhere.

• Love this Q&A from Emily Achenbaum Harris about escaping the hamster wheel of doom.

• Alone time helps us form stronger memories, reports BNET.

• Zenhabits offers a small-scale approach to achieving great things.

• Salon explains how Bridesmaids, the movie, became a social movement.

• What happens if your agent shops your manuscript but can’t sell it? Literary agent Rachelle Gardner explains.

• Fascinating: Less-trusting women tend to choose average-looking guys, says Forbes Woman.

Happy weekend!
