    • Bushwhacking, Booze, and Nothing to Lose September 2, 2010
      Song of the day: Nothing to Lose by Operator Okay, tell me the truth. Do you ever have a moment where you just stop and wonder why it is that you write? Why do you subject yourself to torturous, lonely hours of work, real work, on a book where often there seems so little reward? [...] […]

    • A Behind the Scenes Look at the Bustle September 2, 2010
      Okay, so it’s a horrible pun. But really, if you’re looking at the historical development over time of the bustle, could you resist?

    Get moving (or a passion for life)

    I used to joke that I’d only do exercise if you’d pay me good money. The truth was that yes for 15 years I’d get paid each time I led a fitness class and I had a built in motivation right there. I’d need to be throwing up or something worse not to get out there and teach.

    I did it with hungovers, 100 degrees fevers, shingle, injuries, with a lost voice and through pregnancy, sometimes up to 3 classes a day.

    Then I moved and didn’t go back to my fitness job and found myself now sluggish and of course overweight.

    What I have discounted was the fact that exercise gives me energy which in turns feeds my creativity.

    Well I’ve been running again.

    I sent a six page marketing plan to Dorchester today and I had to stop myself even though I was still getting tons of ideas for fun events. Then I wrote my 1.3K and again ton of ideas flew to me, I also found the title for my Steampunk story with tons of story thread. And wrote tons on writing yahoo loops.

    I’m finding this passion for life again. All this from small morning runs.

    No need to pay me now, I’ll go take that half-hour and get moving. the benefits are just way too good to pass.
