We Remember Them

Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this song as a tribute to all the children, regardless of race or side, who have died as the innocent casualties of war. I have been out on Remembrance Day, and have been mortified at how few people stop for as much as a minute, even when the last post is played. In Australia, we have it so easy, thanks to so many of our troops past and present… let’s never forget.

Spiritually Inclined? Christian Writer’s Directory

Image Copyright Sam Mugraby, Photos8.com

I had never done an extensive search for Christian writing groups and resources before. I was surprised at how many I have never heard of. There are also many local writer’s groups which you can search for.

In addition to these, there are quite a number of excellent Christian bloggers online who write about… oddly enough, Christian writing! Plus a wealth of Christian writing conferences held around the world.

While I have been a part of Faithwriters for a number of years, I haven’t had any contact with many of the sites. So please use at your own discretion.

Written Acts of Kindness Award: Morgen Bailey

Early in the year, I had the good fortune to discover Triberr. When I found Triberr, I was exceptionally lucky to find Morgen Bailey.

Morgen is a prolific writer. Every week her blog features interviews with other writers, her fiction and poetry. She is a treasure trove of useful resources and also has an interest in assisting other writers in putting their blog together. If you’re worried about how technical it can be… go talk to Morgen!

The greatest kindness Morgen has bestowed on me is by posting and reposting my blog articles through Twitter. As I often miss work days due to migraine pain, Morgen has, at times, kept the traffic flowing. I am very grateful to her for this. She is one of the very few, who regularly goes back through her shared posts and send them out into the Twitterverse again.

So Morgen, a heartfelt thank you for your support and for encouraging me. Having my work passed on means a great deal.

You can read Morgen’s blog here and her Twitter feed is located here. More links to her work can be found on that blog.

Morgen, please take this badge below and use it as you wish. The rules for passing this Award on are very simple:

You are welcome to give it out as many times as you like, but it is only to be given to a maximum of one person per blog post. If you wish to give multiple rewards, please space the blog posts by at least a week so the sincerity is maintained.
Introduce the person; say how they encourage, help or inspire you; then link to their work and/or social media profiles. There may be a specific post you wish to link to which helped you. It’s up to you.
Please publicise your award post to Twitter or Google Plus using the hashtag #writtenkindness so that others can find and follow the award winners. You are also welcome to add your Award recipient/s to the Hall of Fame which is on this link.

Avoiding Back Pain: Free E-book

Back pain affects more of us than any other complaint, including heart disease and asthma. It is an epidemic which is largely avoidable, but rarely addressed in public health education. I grew up watching my father struggle with debilitating, chronic back pain that was never adequately relieved. Many of his spinal problems came from being a manual laborer at a time when work safety procedures, such as safe lifting and posture, were not seen as a priority.

Our family paid for that attitude for the rest of my father’s life. Back pain took him out of the workforce, decimated our family finances and chronically stressed our home life. He was often depressed and aggressive due to back pain. Unsurprisingly, back care and safe lifting are educational issues very close to my heart.

The information in this book is quite diverse. Taking care of your spine is an issue for everyone, including mothers; athletes; military personnel; the aged; computer users and office workers who battle with back ache due to posture; builders; manual laborers; and anyone who regularly lifts, bends and twists their spine to get tasks done whether at home, work or recreationally.

This book evolved out of my work with a non-profit back injury prevention organisation. The medical content in this book has been checked and approved by a registered, qualified Spinal Surgeon with a Masters Degree in Spinal Biomechanics. When I left the organisation, it was agreed I could take my work and use it however I wished. In the spirit of what we were doing, I would like to make this e-book free so people can learn to avoid back injuries.

Contents include:

Back Health Essentials: A Simple Overview
Basic Guidelines on How to Lift Anything
Conditions Caused by Repetitive Back Strain
What Type of Bag Do You Carry?
Back and Neck Friendly Computer Use
Household Maintenance and Back Strain
Lifting and Caring for Children
Spine Safe Sport and Recreation
Back Saving Water-Wise Gardening
Avoiding Back Strain While Packing and Moving
Taking Care of Your Back After Corrective Surgery: A Cautionary Tale
Back Care for Carers
Back Care for Wheelchair Users
A Special Chapter for Young Carers
Online Back Care Resources

Please note: it is essential that I emphasize that these articles are not a substitute for independent professional advice, which will take into account your own unique circumstances and medical conditions. Also, as research and advances in medical techniques and knowledge continually occur, at some stage the information here may go out of date as we learn more and get better at preventing injury. Please don’t use this book as the sole source of your information. Take further steps to ensure you have all the facts you need to get the best outcome for your health.

This is the page link for downloading the book . The file is a 700kb .pdf file which will work on any computer or tablet device. It is protected so you will not be able to print or copy from it, but please, pass it on freely!

Wishing you excellent back health and a pain-free lifestyle.

What’s More Important: Your Journey or Final Destination?

Today in Australia, it is Melbourne Cup Day. It is one of those odd Aussie ways we have down here. It had my husband shaking his head when he first encountered it… while trying to actually do some work! At 3pm, no matter where you are, the nation stops as people stop and turn on the television or radio to catch this race. It’s the centrepiece of the Spring Racing Carnival. As this post is about the joy of running, not just the finish line, I thought it was an appropriate blog post for today! Update: “Green Moon” won the cup, and possibly a prize for a name that is creative. It does stand out.

One of the mistakes people make with creativity is focussing on the success or failure of the final creation. While the product is important, the greatest aspect of creativity, and often the most enjoyable is the process of discovery. The value doesn’t just lie there. The journey matters… The process is how you get where you want to go: the problem solving skills you apply, the multiple drafts or experimental types or models you work with in trying to perfect and identify what you want; the mental processes of figuring out exactly what direction to take. Creative people can find that aspect the most empowering part of working on a project. Once the project is finished, if ever, the challenge and need to stretch your capabilities is no longer present. That termination can be disappointing.

Pablo Picasso is a vivid example of creative genius. Not only did he paint, he produced many kinds of sculptures, facial masks, costumes, dresses, logos, posters, theatre sets, numerous objects and art works in canvas, stone, ceramics, metal and mixed media. Picasso would paint a completed work every morning, then move onto another project in the afternoon. He didn’t stop and reflect on his ideas or progress, he created his works in a matter of hours. It has been debated how much care or sustained effort he put into his artistic works as they were, almost churned out of a one-man production line. Consider though, did they need the same sort of planning and time taken over them that other artists needed? Perhaps Picasso was simply sure of what he was doing? In total, he bought over 30,000 works of art and physical objects into being.

If you take the time to read about his personal and business life, Picassoʼs egocentricity and extreme narcissism is another example of his creative ability that generated the results and atmosphere he wanted, and achieved his goals. Love or hate what he did, and how he did it, you can argue that his ability to focus solely on himself, may have been what enabled him to tap so astutely into his creative impulses. Picassoʼs choice of artistic subjects are also said to reflect his total self absorption. He chose not to represent nature or landscape, despite fashions at the time, as nature was outside of his mind and his control, holding no interest for him.

Picassoʼs effect on the world of art is a legacy that holds great value for many generations past and to come. His work was groundbreaking, freeing many artists to pursue their own vision, rather than remain trapped in the clutches of what was acceptable and in fashion. You may like to read more about Picassoʼs life and make up your own mind as to whether or not he was really an untamable megalomanic, or simply a genius, whose drive to create and survive spurned him on.

This post is an excerpt from Cate’s e-book “Unleashing Your Creative Spirit” which has just been officially released. If you have an interest in enhancing your creative potential, the e-book will be of inspiration to you.

Unleashing Your Creative Spirit was written to help you turn your dreams into reality! It explores the process and practical aspects of creativity; and has been written for artists, writers, musicians, dancers, gardeners, cooks, craft lovers: anyone trying to tap into their creative potential. It looks at the mental processing behind creativity; philosophies that drive how we think about and assess our creative worth; creative character traits; historical role models; an extensive bibliography and web link list plus more. The content is practical, not just analytical. It will give you ideas on how to move forward in your creative life.

Topics covered include:

Capturing the Muse
Quieting the Internal Censor
Building A Creative Space
Working With Failure
Finding Direction
Techniques To Use

The abridged ebook is available now on Amazon Kindle. The full illustrated e-course version with additional resources and exercises is only available from me, as e-book formats cannot handle it. You can order it directly from http://www.virtual-desk.com.au/trainer.html. Please scroll down the the course list and the select the buy button.

Non Fiction Writer’s Challenges for November

If you are a memoir or non-fiction writer like I am, NaNoWriMo may have you feeling like a fish out of water! I discovered yesterday that non-fiction writers and people who want to finish works in progress, do have a forum at NaNoWriMo, but you can’t enter the competition. You are called a “Nano Rebel.” I like that term. I also appreciate their all-inclusive policy. Check out the forum here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-rebels/threads/60761

Even better, Sherrey Myer, a recent “Written Acts of Kindness” award recipient and memoir writer, just told me about  ”Write Nonfiction in November.” It is much simpler, more informative and has a Facebook page for group support. This suits me much better; plus being a smaller initiative, I don’t feel so lost!

About the initiative: “In October 2007, a year after Nina Amir participated in Naitonal Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), she asked herself, “What’s a nonfiction writer supposed to do during November?” Searching around in the NaNoWriMo forums, she discovered NaNoRebels. That might be fine for some nonfiction writers, but not for her. Although Nina has a rebellious nature, she wanted to participate in a legitimate manner.

So, Nina gave birth to Write Nonfiction in November (WNFIN), aka National Nonfiction Writing Month (NaNonFiWriMo). Unlike its fiction counterpart, NaNonFiWriMo is not a contest and offers no word-counting mechanism to deem anyone a winner. It’s a personal challenge conducted on the honor system to start and finish a work of nonfiction in 30 days—any work of nonfiction. If you meet your goal, you get the personal satisfaction of knowing you did so—and a manuscript, or maybe several manuscripts, with which to pursue publication. Also unlike NaNoWriMo, NaNonFiWriMo offers its participants a way to learn about writing, publishing and promoting nonfiction via a blog.”

Please go to their page, sign in by leaving a comment and state your goals. From there you can participate as much or as little as you desire.

Good luck!

Crouching Ego, Hidden Hell

Design by Drake: please check out his site by clicking on the image.

I hate people with big egos. Let me put this plainly: I really hate, loathe, detest and am repulsed by people whose confidence in their own awesomeness is so great, you itch to bring them down to bitter reality. (For the good of their own mental health, of course!) I’ve worked with a few people like that. It never ends well.

The other character trait which grinds down my patience is people who are abrasive. They just don’t come across as warm, friendly; or at times, even glad to share their planet with any other living being. I am not the sort of person that wants to love and hug everyone, but I do appreciate a certain level of civilised interaction when I have to work alongside someone. Is that too much to ask?

In my early twenties, one of the key figures of our social group was a guy who was Mr Confidence! (Super ego on stilts…) He was moderately good looking; incredibly ambitious; a financial snob in a low paying job; judgemental and he was Going Someplace Important and Lucrative! He boasted he worked eighty hour weeks, including volunteer time. The older generation around us were heard to remark, that he would burn-out by the time he was thirty. He did. I wanted to strangle him many times, but alas, he was tall, I was short… it could never be.

I learnt something critical about human behaviour in the time I spent around him. His confidence, in actuality, was as thin and transparent as cellophane. He was a bundle of complex insecurities. He had a background of childhood abuse and other family complications which he was clearly, going to transcend! However, he was trying to achieve it by following the wrong image of a successful man. He worked so hard at being strong, that his behaviour worked like a magnet: his negativity repulsed the positive people and the opportunities he needed the most. I started to feel sad for him. His behaviour bothered me less; it became, “what are we going to do about Mr Confidence? He needs help, but he won’t open up!”

Working as a professional, I have come across so many arrogant, abrasive and egotistical doctors, lawyers and managers, I can’t count them all. Only that I had that early, formative, experience, I’d write them all off as a pack of time wasters. But now, I look deeper. The angry doctor in the Emergency Room was frustrated with a medical system that stopped him from really helping his patients. He came back and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. I looked past the anger and saw a big heart. The manager who had atrocious people skills and barked at everyone became a friend. I talked to him quietly; told him how much I appreciated his skills and what he was doing. He too had an amazing passion for his work and he was as soft as marshmallow under the gruff voice.

The more responsibility I see placed on people, often, the tougher I see them act. It is a defence mechanism to enable them to cope with the demands on them. So the question I am asking is, when you are constructing characters who are rough, ridiculous and deserve a good slap, what terrors can you write in that lie deep underneath? What private hell are they compensating for? The legacy of abuse? Being worn down by failure, or simple bad luck? Dig deeper to reveal the real story underneath. That will be the pivotal point on which you can turn a bad character into a reformed, flesh and blood human.

I searched for a Copyright notice on Drake’s site and couldn’t find one, but the photo is his work, so please respect that and don’t claim it as your own.
