The latest issue of the Romance Writer’s Report (an RWA publication) focuses on health.

This is an important issue not just for writers but for us all.

Your health has a direct affect on your productivity, creativity, energy and your happiness. It’s damn difficult to get any words on the paper when you just don’t feel well.

For the next two weeks I’ll be discussing how to stay healthy -both mentally and physically – so you can be the writer you want to be. However, because it is Monday let’s start with a motivational quote!

“A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.”

-Spanish Proverb

Or for a more updated version:

“A woman too busy to take care of her health is like a writer too busy to take care of her tools.”
