| About the Book | |
|
Every profession has its own particular dangers and writing and publishing are no different. Both professions are earmarked by inherently sedentary lifestyles and all the pressures that go with being creative and self-employed. Rejection letters, writer's block, unreasonable deadlines and intrangient agents all contribute to stress levels significantly higher that those faced by people with "normal" jobs or careers. The most common health problems writers face fall into five major categories: joints, circulation, eyestrain, insomnia and malnutrition. This book, although it is not medical advice, can help you avoid problems and begin to heal if you're already experiencing difficulties. Toni McSorley, an eighth degree black belt and experienced natural healer, brings forty years of experience to bear on addressing the specific challenges and dangers writers face in their professional lives. From supplements to lifestyles changes to exercise, Toni tells you just what you need to know. This isn't generic advice -- it's specifically tailored for writers and their challenges. IMPORTANT: THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOKLET IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH PROBLEMS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LICENSED PRACTITIONER IN YOUR AREA.
