If you want to have a long and successful writing career, then you need to look after your body as well as your mind. In today's show, I discuss how to be a healthy writer with my co-author, Dr Euan Lawson.

We talk about why writing is great for your health, as well as the most common issues that writers face in terms of physical and mental health, plus we share our personal stories of pain and recovery – as well as my story of breaking sugar addiction.

You can find The Healthy Writer: Reduce your Pain, Improve your Health, and Build a Writing Career for the Long Term in ebook and print editions. We hope it helps you have a healthy, sustainable, and creative 2018.
