As a writer and Editor in Chief I have to wear a couple of different hats in the process of getting a book out. Similarly writing a book and writing a blog post are both writing, but there are some real differences. A blog: writing in the now Blogposts tend to be things that areContinue reading “Blogging vs Books: Similar but different”

You should at least try…
At some point today a Kickstarter I set up for a Forever Mountain Publishing novel (worse, one of my own novels…) is going to close without funding. Yes, it is a temporary defeat. But, you can’t let the temporary defeats get in the way (Napoleon Hill said that back in the 1930’s…). In fact, asContinue reading “You should at least try…”
Boundary lines (part 1?)
How do we decide what is and isn’t appropriate? How do we know what to share with whom?

The missionary accused the artContinue reading “Boundary lines (part 1?)”

Contrary to what some might think, we don’t giveContinue reading “The secret art of stepping away”

Why are we doing this (Part 2)
Yes, you could say we addressed this last week with our mission statement; however, why we are doing this is a bigger question… ‘Why’ doesn’t just make for a big question, it makes for an important one. Check out this post to see why. As to the ‘why’ we’re talking about this week… Generally theContinue reading “Why are we doing this (Part 2)”
