This blog is dedicated to helping writers holistically. We are more than robots sitting at a desk pounding out word count. We have hopes, dreams, fears, bad habits and baggage. Monday is dedicated to helping you guys with craft. Wednesdays is to help you build your platforms. Fridays are my choice, but I like to dedicate these blogs to helping writers with life skills.
Women and Fitness – So You Think You Want 6-Pack Abs?

This post is a bit of a tangent, but I found this incredible article by Charles Lloyd for ANYONE who is into health: 6 pack abs do NOT equal great physical fitness
Guess what? Those chicas on the cover of the fitness magazines, with their flowing hair, perky breasts, and well-defined abs – their the 1%. And that probably means they are unhealthy. They could even be suffering from “Amenorrhea” (loss of a period). Which can lead to increased risk for osteoporosis and uterine cancer!
Serious stuff!
And guys, Lloyd says that some body types are just not made to maintain 6-pack abs.
Why does society even push these images in our faces? I suppose those with ripped bodies are considered strong. But, in fact, they may actually be extremely unhealthy.
Fitness and health goals are great. If you want to experience more joy and less stress, having a healthy lifestyle is definitely a good way to start.
But we’ve got to get rid of these ridiculous notions of what is “healthy” and what is “desirable”.
Ladies – not all fat is bad. We need to accept our bodies. We need to love ourselves.
What part of your body do you love?

“And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to bloom.”

Go Ahead and Bloom
If you’re pondering a risk, stop over-analyzing. Take the leap and jump into the unknown.
Be prepared to bloom;)

I’ve got a few classes coming up this Spring and now I’m rapidly gathering information about Social Media from bloggers and writers who I trust.
Kristen Lamb has written THE book - We are Not Alone - for any writer interested in Social Media (including Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace). Her step-by-step guides help you set up accounts as well as to learn how to use each tool effectively — that is, making quality updates in the least amount of time. I recommend this book to all my students.
Check out We Are Not Alone – The Writer`s Guide to Social Media, only $4.99!!!
Here’s a few posts I’ve found that are essential for anyone interested in Social Media:
