Great resource for New Zealand writers by kiwis

The New Zealand Freelance Writers’ Association began over 30 years ago, as an association for freelance journalists, but is now open to writers of all genres. The focus of the association is Freelance, a quarterly magazine about writing for writers. Membership ranges from beginning, unpublished writers to writers who earn their living from their craft, and also to editors who are publishing newsletters and magazines. Membership is open to all ages – anyone with an interest in writing is welcome to join.

Issues contain tips and information about writing, news on markets and competitions, members’ book reviews and other items of interest, including a ‘Write of Reply’ page where members can write in for help.

Writing can be a lonely craft, but members of NZFWA appreciate the friendly ‘family’ feel of Freelance, which offers help and support from both the editor and other members.

NZFWA is a non-profit organisation surviving solely on membership subscriptions, receiving no outside funding.

The cost of membership is $30 per annum (students, beneficiaries, superannuitants: $25)

NOTE : remember this can be deducted from your taxes - the NZ Society of Authors (PEN) has a very good booklet on NZ tax specifically for writers - see NZSA info here

thinking thin - thinking healthy

I wonder if it's wishful thinking or true. Today it seems I am thinner .. well thats what my body tells me I am so hope its true. However, I have to work with the facts and I will not know my wieght until I hop on the scales each and evry Thursday lunchtime.

And between now and then I have two big food events. tommorrow night the NZSA is hvaing an end of year dinner at Wagamama (http://www.wagamama.co.nz/) here in Christchurch. ( I've eaten at their Wellington, NZ and London UK restaurants but not in my hometown - yet)

Then on Thursday I join a group of us undervalued freelance writers for breakfast at the very yummy Crumpet - our regular breakfast meeting place (http://www.crumpetclub.co.nz/) > So, although I am thinking thin, thinking healthy, my attitude will be put to the test but I'm sure I'm ready for it: the goal of good health is well worth delayed gratification.

My 'today' has been good for walking; I did well with drinking water and my food intake sensioble and enjoyable (and so was the weekend). Today I also received a pdf copy of the brochure for the wrting courses in Fiji next year. ( if you want a copy of it please email me (heather@kiwitravelwriter.com ) and I'll send youa  copy. it's exciting to think in a  few weeks I will be able to say "this year I am teaching travel writing at a great resort in Fiji' see more here: http://wp.me/pc3Zw-sp  - it will be no problem to eat well there!

Here's me teaching travel writing at the Karori Wildlife Centre
