I know that it a bit cryptic considering I am not going to go into to much detail. At least not yet. All I will say is that my life is about to change dramatically. I have a climb ahead of me and I am excited and scared, but it all for the best.
I wanted to just take this time to say thank you to all the people online who have been so supportive since I started this blog. Everyone has been overwhelmingly kind and I appreciate it more then you know. It is because of this support I have decided to make this change. Don’t worry, I am not going anywhere, just feeling the urge to show some love.
How’s that for a cliff hanger? On to the update . . .
The Healthy Writers Club
Shallee McArthur started The Healthy Writers Club; How to Push Your Writing (and Exercise) to the Next Level. I am sure my butt has expanded since I’ve been spending so much additional time sitting in front of a computer this year. And, given the option of writing early in the morning or exercising early in the morning, I have been picking sleep every time. (Yeah, you knew that was coming) I thought I was a great idea to record my workouts and find some like minded bloggers as well.
October 1 – 7, 2012:
Cardio: 3x – 60 min sessions
Strength Training: 2x – 20 min sessions
Stretching: 3x – 15 min sessions
Not a bad week.

Two weeks ago I wrote a post about using character profiles as a marketing tool. Dan O’Brien takes this concept a step further with his guest post on Armand Rosamilia’s site. He conducts an interview of his characters and the exchange between the author and the characters in this setting is fascinating. Now I can’t wait to read The Path of the Fallen.
I, along with 300,000 other people are in the midst of pre Nanowrimo anxiety and I hope everyone is preparing and ready to go on November 1st. I have been back and forth about whether or not I was going to do Nano. I love the concept, but not as happy with the quality of work I put out during these challenges. I will write more about this later, but it was one of my goals at the beginning of the year to participate in Junowrimo, August Campnano and Nanowrimio. So, I am going to do it because it has been a pretty awesome goal achieving year for me and I don’t want to stop now.
To assist my fellow writer, here are a few post that might help with your prep:
Good luck honey, I wish you well, and hope that climb isn’t as steep as you first thought 😉 Remember, you can do ANYTHING if you are determined enough 🙂

ps….can’t wait to hear all about it at some stage 😉
Way to keep us in suspense! It’ll be exciting to read about your new venture. Thanks for the great links, I definitely needed that kick in the butt (literally). I’m off to check out the posts…
Hi, Sydney,
I came over from Shallee’s blog. Sounds like you’ve done some good stuff on the exercise front. Love the craziness of NaNo, but I have way too much going on to even try this year.
wow, that’s a great week. Good luck with the change. Knowing nothing about it, it does sound both exciting and scary, but if it’s for the best then cheers to you!!
Thanks for the mention. I’m excited to hear about your upcoming changes.
The Healthy Writers Club seems like something I should look into, once I’m actually able to operate on a normal level again (thank you kidney stone).

There’s always some kind of change and it sounds like yours will be for the better. Good luck with it. Growth entails undergoing change.
Thanks Lee. It is scary, but going to be good for me.
Wow, that is a cliffhanger! 😉

Soon. Need to tell my blood family first. Then my blog family will get the news. It is all good. haha.
Oh wow, you sound really organized with the whole exercise thing! (I totally didn’t see the sleep thing coming… but I will next time :D)
Just me trying to be funny. But, I did have a good week. See if I can keep it up this week.

Hi Tameri, Yeah, I just wanted to keep you all guessing. Join me in a virtual work out club. HAHA>
I love the photo and am excited for you!
Thank you so much.

Hi Joy, Thanks for stopping by. I did good this week. Yeah, Nano is going to be tough, but I am excited.

Thanks Lynda. It just proves my point how super supportive everyone is and they don’t even have to know what its all about. I love that.
Hope it’s a change for the better and I’m happy that you’re not leaving the blogging community! That would make me really sad!
Thanks for mentioning me also 🙂
Hi Amanda. No problem. The post pushed me, too. I couldn’t leave the only positive thing in my life.
Welcome to the Healthy Writer’s Club! And good luck with your big life change. 🙂
Thank you Shallee. It is a great idea.
