Sleep in Heavenly Peace (0:00:00) We have a question for you: How many of you listening are wishing you were in bed right now? Some days, we might feel like our beds are our best friends, and all we want to do is curl up in a warm ball of pillows and sheets and never leave ever. Our beds are our little squares of refuge from stress and responsibility we don't want to think about. But how would you feel if you never had a bed? There is an unfortunately large population of people living in the US that don't have a proper bed to sleep in at night. This can cause major damage to sleep, which leads to major physical and emotional issues. This is where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in – a non-profit organization dedicated to delivering bunk beds to children and families in need. Joining us on the show is Amy Andrew, a president for one of the organization's chapters. Saturnalia (0:13:10) When I think of Christmas, I think of hanging lights, wreaths of greenery, feasting with friends and family, and giving gifts. Do you want to hear something I was shocked to learn? All of these traditions were originally part of a different December holiday, one that celebrated the pagan god Saturn. With us on the show is Dr. Tyler Creer, a professor of ancient Roman history at Brigham Young University, to tell us a little bit about the history of Saturnalia.

She is also here to share how we can avoid and prepare for those unexpected conflicts with strangers. Betrayal to Resilience (0:50:38) It's been proven that in life, a breakup of a long-term relationship is the number two top stressor, coming in behind being widowed. So, what happens if your long-term relationship ends because of betrayal? How do you deal with a broken heart? Dr. Cade North is a self-made expert in turning personal calamities into hilarious tales and the author of Until Death Do Us Apart. She and joins us to discuss how we can go from betrayal to resilience. Toys for Tots (1:06:31) There's so much excitement in the air with Christmas coming in just a few days. But for some, these next few days will be ones of stress and despair. There are parents around us worried about how they can possibly afford Christmas for their children this year. So how can we spread some Christmas cheer and help them? Toys for Tots is celebrating its 72nd year of existence. They deliver 18 million toys to an average of 7 million children each year. But they need our help to achieve this fantastic feat. President and Chief Executive Officer for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Pete Osman, joins us to tell us a little bit about how we can help this year. Italian Christmas (1:22:49) The holidays are a season for food and no one loves to feast more than Italians. But even if you aren't Italian, you can still eat like one. Cooking festive Italian dishes is easier than you think and it's sure to make this holiday merry and delicious. Maria Liberati is an award-winning chef and culinary blogger, known as the “Italian Martha Stewart” by Celebrity Society Magazine.

Time, space and writing habits are the focus of many a good how-to-write book, and make for an endlessly fascinating topic for most of us keen to glean yet another secret weapon for our arsenal of writing tips and tricks. Alexandra offers more than her fair share of tricks with us today. Writers need to be selfish about their time and the space they need to write, whether that’s headspace or physical space. We chat about procrastination and the barriers to sitting down and actually writing. We also chat about my current bug-bear, the noise about how self-publishing is considered by some to be a road to riches and how people sometimes expect that they can start from scratch and churn out a book that will make then squizillionaires. What the rest of us are interested in is the value we place on our writing, what it means to us and why it matters. Add that to how creativity is one of the most foundational and creative drives of human nature. If you’ve read Julia Cameron then you’ll like where Alexandra is coming from when she talks about the spirituality of writing. You can find out more about Alexandra and Faster Fiction http://fasterfiction.com/ (here). Read Full Transcript Alexandra Amor Duration: [00:43:45] Melinda: Welcome to another episode of Writer on the Road. Today I'm with a friend of mine, an old friend of mine who has turned up in a few different places over the last few months and it's Alexandra Amor who I believe is over in Canada. Good morning Alexandra! Alexandra Amor: Hi Melinda, how are you today? Melinda: Good thank you. I don't know whether to be excited or terrified to have Alexandra with me today simply because she's an author mindset mentor. I've been fossicking through her blog this morning and the first thing it says is are you ready to stop thinking about writing and actually writing. I'm going maybe I don't need to talk to this woman right now. Tell us all about it please Alexandra and don't asked me any detailed questions because I might have to lie to you. Alexandra Amor: I can say the same back. Well thanks so much for having me on the show Melinda I'm thrilled to be here and I always find it so fun to talk to somebody on the other side of the world, so yeah I'm on the west coast of Canada in Vancouver and the new site that I've got up fasterfiction.com is brand new, it went up about a week ago and the intention there is for me to help writers and people who are really maybe even want to be writers, they haven't written their first thing yet to get out of their own way, to stop procrastinating, to stop thinking about writing as you mentioned and get their bum in a chair and start writing. Melinda: What can we say about that everybody? Everyone who's listening out there we're all writers, we all know what it's like and we all have very good intentions as well. My problem is I have people on my podcast who mention things like 5,000 words a day, do I need to talk to you Kevin Tumlinson and there's lots of other people out there who are putting me to shame, I've got Joanne Dannon doesn't do a bad job either at churning out the words, I don't even want to go into my romance writers like Amy Andrew and co because they've been writing for years and they're up to 50/60/70 books and I'm going oh give me a break but I'm still out there, I'm thinking about it and I'm going to write a book. So Alexandra I need you today. Let's start with that favorite word of ours procrastination. Alexandra Amor: I think this is such a big topic for writers and Steven Pressfield calls it resistance, I don't know if you've read The War of Art but that's a really great book to start with and to explore the topic of why we feel such a barrier when we try to sit down and write. I think especially in this day and age when we're all so overly busy and there are so many distractions in the form of social media and all the things that we can do online that writers really need to be quite selfish about...
