About
Hello Fellow Writer,
I first created The Holistic Writer back in 2001, but just didn’t have the technology or time to bring my vision to fruition. Flash forward to 2007 — I’ve discovered the power of WordPress and have decided to bring my idea to life. I truly hope you enjoy this website and am open to your suggestions.
But first, what is The Holistic Writer?
The Holistic Writer is a website for writers that’s not about writing. Here you will find information and resources that support your mind, body and spirit so you can write all that stuff and publish it (if you so desire.)
 |
MindIn order to be a good writer, you must keep your mind in shape. Feed it good stuff (the writings of good writers and authors), give it plenty of exercise (keep those synapses well toned!) and be sure to let it rest once in a while. Enter this section to find links to information and resources that wil help you do all of these and more. |
 |
BodyIn order to keep your mind in good working order, you need to house it in a body that is healthy. Feed it good stuff (what you eat not only affects your health, but your mind’s functionality as well), give it plenty of exercise (a fit body has more energy for those “meet the deadline” crunch times) and be sure to let it rest once in a while. Enter this section to find links to information and resources that will help you do all of these and more. |
 |
SpiritThe key to a overall healthy lifestyle, one that will keep you writing and enjoying life for years to come, is an energized and contented “spirit.” Enter this section to find links to information and resources that will help you keep up your spirit, find solace when you need it and provide resources for this very important aspect of your life. |
 |
The Holistic Writer ShoppeHere, you’ll find products and services that will support your writing, your mind, your health and your spirit. Note: Currently under construction. |
 |
LinksEach section has its own list of links. These lead to a variety of resources that are relevant to that section. If you know of a good resource that you think should be added to a section’s links list, please send them my way by completing the contact form. |

When you subscribe to the newsletter, you will automatically receive updates from the blog via email, as well as the occasional promotional email and free gifts. |

You’re a writer — why else would you be reading a blog with “writer” in the title?
You spend a great deal of your time writing (or in other writing support activities).
You make a good deal of your income from your writing.That [...]

What Is Physiotherapy?
Not too long ago, I was working on my chiropractor’s website. One of the pages I did was about “physiotherapy.” I asked him what the difference was between physiotherapy and physical therapy, because they didn’t look any different. He told me they were the same thing, but only a physical therapist can provide physical therapy, [...]

What is Mental Health? Key Concepts
Since this section of The Holistic Writer is all about the mind, I thought I’d cover some basics of mental health. A healthy mind is free to be a creative mind that supports your writing talent.
