Finding Productivity in Writing
Well I’m back from my brilliant holiday and ready to blog again. Since coming back I’ve been really busy what with Y’s 12-week ultrasound and of course, finishing my book.
On that last thought, with the deadline looming, I’ve found some great, and free, apps that have really improved my productivity when writing.

When work’s going slow I tend to think that the odd five or ten minutes surfing the net will really help to recharge my batteries. Of course ten minutes usually turns into an hour or more as I surf from one blog to another, one website to the next. Well no more thanks to these free apps.
A while back I heard of a great piece of software called Writeroom… Unfortunately Writeroom is only available for the Mac and as I use a PC I’ve been unable to use it. Then I found Q10, Jdarkroom and Pyroom, all of them clones of the Mac Writeroom.

Effortless Exercise That Works
For many, exercise means Gyms and strenuous workouts under the guidance of instructors with Adonis like sculptured bodies. Also, Gyms can leave the first-timer with feelings of inadequacy when viewing all the muscular toned figures of fellow members. This however needn’t be the case and if all you require, as most people do, is just a overall regular cardio-vascular workout, then you can do it simply and cheaply yourself. [...]
