In some ways there’s nothing earth-shattering in this book from Joanna Penn and Euan Lawson, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t need to read it and – most importantly – take action!
For many of us, writing means sitting on our backside for hours. It’s simply not good for us – physically or mentally. My hips are aching as I write this because I’ve been writing in bed on my laptop for a couple of hours, so getting up and MOVING is going to help me in so many ways.
That’s the simple and important message that Euan and Joanna share. They each move in different ways, and they urge us to find the ways that we like to move. The benefits to their writing and creativity are inspiring to read. I know it, I’ve experienced it and now I just need to put it into practice on a regular basis. Do I want to be an aching, overweight writer for the rest of my life? No, I do not. And this book helps with many resources and ideas to help me be the healthiest and most productive writer I can. Time to move!
