No One Reads This Blog

You ever have a blog that is literally just for you. That's Ink and Sweat. This is just a blog for me to write things to myself, document my writing and working out, and to put everything down instead of trying to write it in a diary. Today I am tweeting about the office - live tweeting the office. I am also looking for book blogs to send review and promo requests to. You can see my progress and the book blogs that are out there here.

I also tweeted that I was looking for book blogs that accepted review requests, but that's not really gone anywhere.

How about what I'm reading at the moment!

This.......

I know I'm reading a lot of books at once, but I can't really help it.
I have a goal to finish these and then I have a ton on my TBR coming up. You can see reviews for all of them here - http://www.reviewsfrombeyondthebook.blogspot.com


There is no relaxing for Thanksgiving, I'm going full speed ahead with two co-writing projects, a pen name project, a new Zombie novel, and three ghost write stories. Onward and upward.

Thanks for reading if you did :)

Create Your Own Creative Zen Notebook!

As a writer you might find that the deadlines and working non-stop can be really stressful. That's why you should find ways to distract yourself or to take a break to de-stress. Color therapy is a big thing, so I made my own ZEN notebook for authors and you can too!

First find a notebook. I liked this one because it was leather. 

These amazing photos are brought to you courtesy of my DROID. 

Then I printed out some fun adult coloring pages. You can just Google Printable Adult Coloring Pages and there are a lot of free ones. 

Next I put in a TO DO notepad.

Some colored pencils.

 

AND the my Creative ZEN notebook was ready. So you can color your adult coloring pages and then when you have an idea, you can write it down and carry it around with you. 

Alternatives to My Method of Zen

There are several coloring apps on mobile devices and a lot of them are free. Just go to your app store and type in Adult Coloring.

If you prefer to keep your zen contained in your phone then these plus Color Notes will serve the same purpose as my Zen notebook!

If you don't want to print tiny pictures of coloring like I did then there's a whole movement of coloring and art you can Enjoy.

I found some different sources. This one is $4.95 a month and you get two issues of the coloring magazine plus the markers and pencils.

SO create your own ZEN and remember to take breaks every once in awhile.
