Into a Writer's Head

Strength time!

Okay, for this exercise you'll want an exercise band of fairly light resistance to start with.  You can do this sitting or standing, though sitting is easier for getting started.  This exercise will help to strengthen those shoulder muscles in the middle of your back.  As you're doing this exercise, imagine squeezing a tennis ball between your shoulder blades.
Step 1: hold your arms out in front of you, a little wider than shoulder width.  Hold the band on either end.
Step 2: Pull your arms (and the band) out toward your sides, squeezing your shoulder blades.
Step 3: Return to start (slowly), then repeat.
Do two sets of ten.
