Introducing Writers On The Move: An Open Exercise Accountability Group for Writers

Hiya writers!

About a month and a half ago I started an exercise accountability group on Facebook called Writers on the Move.

For the first thirty days we grew to about thirty writers sharing our getting-moving triumphs and frustrations, and now, seemingly suddenly, the group has started experiencing exponential growth.

Just as a few of the very committed among us were starting to see some results from of our focus, commitment, and accountability the group exploded in size to several times the original size.

Growth is awesome. And kind of tricky, too.

As of today, we are 133 writers committed to getting in and staying in some kind of shape. Feel free to join us if you are looking to get in and stay in shape too. Here’s the description of the intention of the group as I conceived it. The group is open to all writers and I administrate it.

Welcome to writers on the Move!

This is a group of writers who strive to move it to lose it, started during the summer of 2011.

If you are new, we are using this group to help motivate us to get off our duffs and get moving, whatever that means to each of us.

Our goal is to eat healthier, exercise more, and write on!

Our primary topic is of discussion is: “How’s the exercising going today?”

This is a free group where everyone’s exercising-as-a-writer experience is welcome. There are no leaders or experts. Everyone is the authority on herself.

Thanks for inspiring us by inspiring yourself and then sharing your experiences.

If you would like to join us, just search on Facebook for “Writers on the Move” and you will pull the group up. Then just request to join.

We don’t use the group for self-promotion or even to link back to our blogs or promote our friends. We just use it to help us each be more accountable to our intention to get and stay moving…and simple as this sounds, it seems to work!

I started by walking, then run/walking, and now I’m run/walking. I’m not sure I’ve lost weight but I am definitely getting in shape and I feel more fit.

I gained some weight writing each of my books, Writer Mama, Get Known Before the Book Deal, and The Writer’s Workout. I’m so happy to have help and support on the journey of reversing the negative progression that comes from such a sedentary profession.

I encourage other writers to do the same by inviting you to join us!

The group is a low-commitment, low-distraction way to set healthy goals and realize them…for those who are looking for this kind of support.
