There's an interesting article at the free New York Times wirecutter.com site about a writer, Ann Patchett, who writes while walking (in her case on a treadmill desk). I noticed it because I do the same outside walking every day, phone in hand, ready for dictation. This fits with the general approach to writing to start with a rough first draft so that at least you get the outline of the story in place, to edit later. 
If you're going to do this, though, do keep your eyes open and watch where you're going.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
