Welcome to The Distracted Writer, your resource for… Ooh! Shiny objects! You can see all M.J.’s distracted (and distracting) writing posts here. 2016 is well underway, and while I don’t know yet if it will be as eventful as 2015, I am super excited about making this a year to find balance as a working  […]

Featured image for Hey, Remember That Whole Weight Loss Thing? - Image Source at http://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/WeightsWebs-300x241.jpg
Recently, a couple of people have asked me about the 90 Day Fitness challenge I started at the beginning of August. How is it going? Why haven’t I blogged about it lately? How much weight have I lost? My responses range from shouting “hey, is that a Stormtrooper riding a chipmunk?” and running away, to  […]

It’s the second week of my Gratitude Giveaway! Enter and comment below to win an autographed copy of THE MARRIAGE PACT. One of the favorite gifts I received for my birthday last month was a roll of toilet paper. No, it wasn’t a joke about getting old and never knowing when you might suddenly “have  […]

Featured image for Gratitude Giveaway: Week #1 - Image Source at http://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/IMG_7869-Small-300x200.jpg
Giving thanks… It’s the season of gratitude, my favorite time of year. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, the festive atmosphere of Christmas and the New Year… I love it all. But Thanksgiving is especially important to me. Maybe it’s because – as a convert to Judaism – it’s really the only family holiday I celebrated as a child  […]

Just a quick, slightly belated post to say “thank you” to everyone who helped make THE MARRIAGE PACT launch last week a ton of fun and (from my end, at least) a big success. I am so grateful to Nicole Sohl, Brendan Deneen, Jessica Preeg and Annie Hulkower at Thomas Dunne/St. Martin’s Press/Macmillan Entertainment; as  […]

Featured image for Terrifying Milestone: My Life at (almost) 40 - Image Source at http://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Spooky40-300x300.jpg
In just a few days, I’ll be turning 40. Like most everyone around my age I’ve talked to lately, I truly, truly believe age is just a number, that there is absolutely no reason a “milestone” birthday should hold more significance than others, blah, blah, blah. And yet. It’s hard not to stop and take  […]

Well, I’m 1/3 of the way through the 90 Day Challenge at Lifetime Fitness with somewhat mixed results. I thought it would be a good time to check in with a progress update. We’ll start with what’s going well: – I have tracked all my meals nearly every day on the LoseIt app, (with a  […]
