Writers, almost by definition, are both busy and sedentary! It’s ironic.

Between the kids, the spouse, the day job, the hairballs, and trying to fit in time to write, many writers skip exercising. I know I did.

After a couple serious health scares, I realized I needed to work exercise into my lifestyle.

I did it in three steps:

1. I thought about it a lot. (No calories burned yet. Heh.)
   
   • I had to get my mind caught up to the idea that an inert body—my body—wasn’t going to be lithe and strong forever. I had to own that.
   • I had to convince myself that I didn’t need to become an Olympic athlete to make a difference. I had to give myself permission to take it slow and easy.
   • I had to come to an understanding of what kind of exercise I enjoyed and thus would be less resistant to. Where was my joy?

2. I did research to find the best teachers.
3. I experimented and found what worked for me.

My criteria for a doable exercise routine were:

• I don’t have to change clothes to do it.
• I don’t have to shower afterward.
• It’s quick but effective.
• It’s fun and makes me feel good.
• It’s something I can do any time of day depending on how busy I am.
• It’s guided by a teacher, so I don’t have to think about what to do next. I can be in the moment.

Here’s what I do:

Yoga with Adriene

I sit so much that I was getting stiff and my hips were giving me trouble. I needed to limber up. I discovered this Youtube series, and Adriene changed my life. She has many sessions for beginners and many that are short-short (15 mins or less) or targeted to a particular profession or body part. She also does meditations that are calming and get your breath moving. Here are three of her yoga videos that I do regularly.

Fabulous 50s

To get my heart rate up and strengthen, I do these quick exercises. Schellea Fowler’s brand targets women over 50, but don’t let that dissuade you men and younger people from trying these exercises. They are perfect for writers. They’ll get your heart rate up and tone your muscles—in only five minutes. They’re perfect if your mind is wandering to refocus and wake up. You control the intensity you need.

Self-published authors often find it prohibitively expensive to buy an ISBN, and if you use the free one from Amazon, then you’re letting them put their mark on your book. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but for those who aren’t comfortable with it, you have a better option.

Filling out the form on Bowker’s site can also be extremely painful if you’re unfamiliar with it. Wily Writers can make the process easy-peasy.

What you get:

• Your forever ISBN for only $29
• A listing on our Wily Writers Fiction site (work in progress) that links out to wherever you’re distributing it
• Promotion of the Wily Writers Fiction site and thus promotion of your work
• No other charges required. You keep all sales from your book. We may occasionally request donations for a special promotional push, but those will be completely optional.
• Possible promotion on sites that give added benefits to publishers (such as Edelweiss and NetGalley). We’re actively looking into making this a reality.

What we ask for in return:

• When you use one of our ISBNs, Wily Writers will be listed as your imprint (your publisher). This is non-negotiable as it’s part of the registration process for the ISBN, and because we purchased it, we’re listed as the imprint.
• We ask that you give us credit as your publisher within the book. We also ask that you put our logo on the back cover and an image of the Wily fox or the blue feather on the spine in accordance with our guidelines.
• We ask that you allow us to promote your book on our Wily Writers Fiction website (work in progress).
• We ask that you share our Wily Writers Fiction website with your social media to help promote your Wily fellows. This is optional but would be very kind of you.
• Because you are a member of Wily Writers, we believe that your work will be of professional quality and meet common publishing standards. We ask for your due diligence in this regard.
• You’ll be asked to sign a publishing contract that will cover both our asses.
• Wily Writers reserves the right to reject any ISBN application if the book offends our sensibilities. We’re not overly sensitive, but there are some platforms we will not support on the Wily Writers Fiction site: white supremacy, for example. We’ll talk it out with you if we have concerns.

How does this differ from predatory publishers who offer ISBNs?

• Aside from the initial fee, we take no money from you. We do not take a portion of your sales.
• You publish your book yourself at Amazon, or wherever you like.
• You are in charge of the cover, of editing, and of publishing the work however you want.
• We do help you promote it via our Wily Writers fiction website (wip).
• You retain all copyright to the work, IP, and elements in it.

IMPORTANT: The following content was flagrantly copied from the BOWKER WEBSITE for your convenience.

What is an ISBN?

The ISBN is a unique identifier for a book or other book-like product (such as an audiobook) that specifies its format, edition, and publisher.

Why should I buy an ISBN?

There are many reasons to purchase an ISBN for your title, including:

• An ISBN improves the likelihood your book will be found and purchased
• An ISBN links to essential information about your book
• An ISBN enables more efficient marketing and distribution of your title
• Most retailers require ISBNs
• Correct use of the ISBN allows different product forms and editions of a book, printed or digital, to be differentiated clearly, ensuring that customers receive the version they require
• An ISBN helps you collect and analyze book sales data
• An ISBN ensures your book’s information will be stored in the Books In Print database
• Books In Print is consulted by publishers, retailers and libraries around world when searching for title information
• The ISBN conveys no legal or copyright protection, however, the use of ISBNs for publications is prescribed by law in some countries
• In some countries a book will be charged higher tax if it does not have an ISBN
• ISBNs are the global standard for book identification

How many ISBNs do I need?

You will need one ISBN for each edition and format of your book. The ISBN identifies the publisher as well as the specific book title, edition and format (hardback, paperback, ePub, PDF, Mobi, Audio…). Any variation of a book would require the use of a unique ISBN to identify it properly. This allows retailers to help the customer understand exactly which version of a title they are purchasing. So, you should consider:

• How many book titles you are planning to publish
• How many formats will each title be created in
• Do you plan to publish future revised editions of these titles
• And remember:
  • You can purchase ISBNs in advance and register your titles any time after they are obtained.
  • ISBNs never expire.

Why should I buy my ISBNs from Bowker?
(Wily Writers gets their ISBNs from Bowker)

Bowker is the official ISBN Agency for publishers physically located in the United States and its territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, as well as military bases and embassies. If an ISBN is obtained from a source other than the official ISBN Agency, it might not identify the publisher of the title accurately. This can have implications for doing business in the publishing industry supply chain.

Once you set up your account with us, your ISBNs will be added to your account immediately at purchase (Title Assignment Instructions). You will be recognized as the publisher of all book titles associated with those ISBNs. For more information about the ISBN standard, or if you are looking for the official ISBN Agency in your jurisdiction, visit the International ISBN Agency.

Wilies, let’s get together for an hour or so on Monday evenings to kick our week off right!

Every Monday, 6PM Pacific

Let’s get the hashtag #darkfiction reinvigorated! Use it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, your blog, or wherever you talk about your writing and books.

Using hashtags in social media increases the chance that your reader soulmates will find you. It improves your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) if you include it on your website.

You can put it into your newsletter and also educate your subscribers to look for it to find the posts of other dark writers. In this way, we build a presence and begin to share readership with one another.

If you’ve read any great resource books that you’d like to share, note it in the comments. If you’ve read one of the ones listed and have insight into how useful it is, please comment (put the title in brackets at the beginning for easy scanning).

There are many interesting podcasts out there about dark arts, but there are few that specifically serve writers. Here’s a list of those we currently know about. If you’ve listened to any one of them, leave a note/review of it in the comments so others know what to expect. Also, if you know of one that’s not listed here, let me know in comments and I’ll add it to the list.

Each of these presents an opportunity for self-promotion. You may contact the podcast and offer to appear. Many are actively looking for guests.

NOTE: Just because a podcast is dead, doesn’t mean it’s gone. The episodes of all those listed here are still available for listening.

Stuck or just want to use Google Sheets or Excel with greater effectiveness? Browse these tips.

• Sort the data in your spreadsheet for easier reading.
• More coming soon…

Keep your mind fresh. These videos will challenge you, inspire you, and maybe teach you something you didn’t already know. Share your thoughts in a comment or discuss them in the forums. Have a suggestion for a video that moved, changed, or inspired you? Let us know in the comments.

Practice these six hacks at night, and your mornings will go much more smoothly. Morning You will be grateful.

1. Wash your dishes before you go to bed, especially the coffee pot. It’s no fun, but it’s worth it. In the morning, it’s too easy to get distracted by a dirty kitchen instead of getting straight to writing. Set yourself up for greatness.
2. Make a 3-item to-do list for tomorrow. Only the three most important things you must do. Commit to doing these three things before you get on social media, answer email, or any other distraction-risky activities. Once you’ve completed them, your day is yours to do with as you please. Feels so good!
   
3. Shut down your computer at the end of your workday. This makes it more daunting to turn it back on. After you finish work, stay off the computer.
   • Especially email! Make it a rule. Tomorrow morning is soon enough to check for the acceptance/rejection email.
   • If you have an idea, write it in a notebook by hand. Don’t be tempted to get back on the computer.
   • Remember, you haven’t stopped working on your book just because you’re offline. You’re giving your subconscious time to take the reins and your conscious mind a much-needed rest.
4. Do easy stretches before bed. Five minutes spent doing the most basic stretches will work out all the kinks you acquired in your office chair, and you’ll sleep better. You can even do this while watching television or reading a book. (great examples)
5. Once you’re in bed, let your mind reminisce about the story you’re writing. Hold it in your mind as you fall asleep. Your subconscious will chew on it all night long, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get dreams and/or new ideas from it! Great ideas often come in the morning, when you first wake up or are in the shower. This is thanks to your subconscious that was working hard while you slept.
6. Pay attention to what wakes you up and take charge of defending against it. Partner snores? Invest in earplugs. Cat wakes you up to be fed? Give them extra food or use a time-release feeder. Too hot or too cold? Fan or extra blanket handy. Light wakes you up? Buy a good eye mask or darkening curtains. The quality of your sleep matters far more than the quantity, and waking up when your body is ready is critical.
   

   Product Recommendations

   I (Angel McCoy) personally use these products and find they work for me. Let us know in the comments if you’ve had experience with them (what’d you think?) or a similar product that you’d recommend.

   • CALM, magnesium powder. Note: be careful with magnesium because it can also loosen bowels (not always a bad thing). Start small and build as you learn your body’s tolerance for it.
   • Sleepytime Extra tea. This is my go-to if I’m experiencing insomnia. Look for a caffeine-free herbal tea with chamomile and valerian in it. The valerian is what makes it “extra.”
   • Silk Sleep Mask. I couldn’t find the exact mask I have, but this is basically it. I love that it covers my ears completely (helps reduce noise and also air blowing across my ear from the fan). It’s so soft I don’t notice it at all. It blocks the light completely.

The snack foods you eat can help or hinder your brain’s functioning and thus affect your writing and productivity. Many studies have been done on this.*

Next time you’re at the grocery store, consider stocking up on these and prepare them in advance, so it’s easy to reach for them instead of the bag of chips that’s far too convenient and not so good for your brain.

Great snack foods that support your brain:

Fatty fish sounds like a terrible idea, but it’s not. Fish such as tuna, salmon, herring, anchovies, and mackerel have Omega-3 fatty acids that your brain loves.

Fermented foods, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, and yogurt have great benefit to digestion, and your belly has a direct connection to your brain. Foods in the “sour” category fit here also—classics such as vinegar, lemon, and lime. A sprinkle will bring any salad, fish plate, or nut mix to life!

Avocados have a beneficial type of fat plentiful in them. Combine them in a blender with yogurt, berries, greens, and nuts for an amazing smoothie. Or mush them up with hard-boiled egg yolks to make creamy deviled eggs.

Antioxidants abound in berries. They are the healthiest fruit you can eat, and a great way to add a touch of sweetness to smoothies, salads, and even tea. Try putting sliced or gently crushed berries in unsweetened iced tea and let them chill for an hour before drinking.

A staple in many writers’ diets, coffee is actually quite beneficial. It’s been shown to counter heart disease and dementia, among other things. Moderation is key, of course. (Pssst… tea is good for you too.)

We all knew this already, but it’s great to get confirmation. Dark chocolate (with at least 70% cocoa) is actually good for the body. Cocoa contains antioxidents called flavonoids that help to protect our cells from oxidating (decaying). Try combining dark chocolate with berries or fresh herbs and see how your brain (and belly) sing!

Hard-boiled eggs are tasty, filling, and so versatile. Slice them into a salad. Make deviled eggs. Add them to a stir-fry. Ferment them even. They keep well in the fridge, so you can make a batch at the beginning of the week then chew on them all week long.

Kale is the new lettuce. When you buy greens, the darker in color the better. Tuna or egg salad wrapped in a kale leave is amazing. Or chop it into small pieces and add it to your yogurt for a stealth boost of vitamins and minerals.

Seeds and nuts—both raw and roasted—bring more antioxidents and good fat to your body. As a snack food, they’re convenient and tasty. Salt or sprinkle with other herbs and spices to taste. Roasted almonds, well-mixed with olive oil and any spice combination you like, can be as satisfying as potato chips.

Technically, peanuts are a legume, not a nut, BUT they’re still good for you and filling in all the best ways. They sit well in a stir-fry, mixed in a smoothie, or just eat ’em out of the bowl.

Fresh herbs take your snacks to the next level, and they’re good for you. They add flavor as well as minerals and vitamins your brain needs, so don’t be shy with them. Consider adding mint to your yogurt or basil to your salad. Experiment to find out what you like.

Combining the foods in this list is magical! Try making deviled eggs with avocado and chopped mustard greens. Or perhaps your kale salad has pomegranate, basil, and pepitas (a type of roasted pumpkin seed) on it. Consider making tuna salad with avocado, egg, rosemary, and walnuts! So many flavors, so many options.

Few events energize a writing career more than going to a writers conference or a fandom con. This year, we have a unique opportunity. Most of the conferences are virtual, which means you can attend them without having to pay for flights, restaurant meals, or hotels. Broaden your horizon each month with a virtual trip to visit a different group of your peers.

This is a living list and will continue to change over time. The keywords in parentheses will help you decide if the con is right for you.

Have a con you’ve attended? Click on the star rating, then tell us why it was good for you in the comments below. (REQUEST: Put the con name at the beginning of any comment about a particular one so it’s easy for others to read through them.)

Organize your convention list with a spreadsheet template for either Excel or Google Sheets.
