My Road to Publication

Making time for exercise

PictureGained FORTY pounds after working as a full-time novelist
So I've never hidden the fact that I considered going full-time writing books was a major risk. Thankfully, the risk paid off. However, in the course of doing so I ended up neglecting my health, choosing to work long hours each day, compensating lack of sleep with food, never having the time to go to the gym - and yeah, I ended up gaining a whopping forty pounds. 

This week, I've made a decision to make my health my priority. I usually write at night, but when I go to the gym, I end up having no energy to work so I don't get to write. When this happened several times, I decided not to go to the gym because obviously, I need to work. 

But then I got to thinking. That's such a cop out. So, now what I do is I try to sleep early so I can wake up early, work during the day then go to the gym. I'm pleasantly tired after working out that I practically fall asleep soon as I get home. This is a huge relief to me because I got so used to working late that I can't make myself sleep early even if I want to.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this in case other writers are suffering from the same problems I do. If you are, I totally feel you. :D

    Welcome!

    * Starting February 1, 2014, this blog will be dedicated to providing publishing tips for aspiring Filipino writers.
    * This blog is also where I share my theological views and how it affects my life and work as a writer. I consider myself an open-minded Catholic as I also have an uncle who's a Christian pastor. Luke 9:50 Jesus said to him, "Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you."
    I believe with all my heart that it is our personal relationship with God that saves us and NOT RELIGION.
