4/27/13: My Week In Review!

What Activities Do You Partake When Relaxing?
No matter who you are, shutting down your brain is a must after a day of hard work.
Hello, fellow enthusiasts!
After a long day of writing, I enjoy taking a walk. I just came back from one and--boy--it was nice to do after working seven hours on my current project.
But walking's so cliche! Perhaps. But I live next to a beautiful marina with a handful of paths to explore when I want to alternate routes. Plus, I found three bucks today! Win-win.
I also enjoy playing games to wind down or an hour or two of mindless internet surfing. It helps to shut down in order to start energized the next day. A mix of rest and work makes a well rounded individual. :)
So, how do you wind down? Let me know in the comments below.

-FLUFF OF THE WEEK-
Here are a few interesting sites I found throughout the week for your enjoyment.
1. California Soda Tax. Chubby Children, be gone says lawmakers. To soda drinkers--I hope you have a heavy wallet.

2. Twitter-The Comic. A humorous site that transforms the most interesting tweets into comic strips. Laughing out loud is advised.

3. New 100 Dollar Bill. For my American readers (or anyone interested in currency), take a look at the newly designed note.

-SPOTLIGHT-
It's hard to find good content when the content is endless. I ease the pain by spotlighting just one website out of billions :)

BOOK DESIGNER.COM

This Blog is dedicated to writers who are looking for information concerning publishing their books, improving their writing, and interacting with a community of peers. Since I do my own cover art, I found their occasional Cover Art Contests to be ripe with ideas.
The Blog is updated quite frequently, and I recommend adding it to your RSS feed and give it a try.
