Is Writing Killing You?

According to this article on BBC News, it could be.

I don't know many (if any) people who write while standing up or doing anything other than sitting down.

And we all know how engrossing this business can be. You can really get into what you're writing and before you know it, it's dark outside, the dogs are whimpering for water and you've completely forgotten to do that other thing you were meant to be doing (whatever it was).

The article offers no solutions other than don't sit down so much, which surely translates to don't write so much. And let's face it, that's not an option.

So are we all prepared to die for our art?
