If he wrote, steadily even, and did not go out for two or three days he would not think that there was anything wrong in that—nor would there be.

Give us time.... The earlier he begins writing, as of now, the better off he is. Part of the conflict has arisen however also because he feels that what he often wants to do—write many hours—is physically wrong.
Some of this has to do with current mass beliefs, based on the idea of the mechanics of the body being more important than the thoughts behind the body’s working. You have been told that sitting down for hours is unhealthy, that stiffness results, and so forth. To some extent Ruburt believes it, and believes that the body must suffer if it sits for long periods, and so forth. The body is quite equipped on its own to remain flexible, and left alone will perform a variety of small motions while sitting, for example, to insure its flexibility.
