I Have a New Book Idea – I’m So Excited

I can’t share all of the details because it just came to me a couple days ago, and I have to copyright a draft.  All I know is that I want it published within six months.  It won’t be that long, but it will be cool.
Speaking of books, I am thinking about creating photo story [...]

Writing Ego or Free Fatigue

Allow me to explain. I went to an organization to request resources for my Shorty Resource blog.  The person I spoke to told me that my [...]

I Think I Want to Teach Writing to Teens

I’m About to Shut My Mouth

So, I started working on my confidence by video recording messages to my friends. In the process, I created a message to Tiger Woods requesting an interview. I was trying to make it 12 seconds so it could be my first post on 12 seconds TV.

People See So Much In Me

Why can’t I see it?
Last week someone told me that she was going to talk to her friend who is a producer about me.  I asked her for what. Duh!!!!  Writing for a movie.
A couple months ago I was sharing a book idea with someone, and she told me to let her know when it [...]

My Biz Plan Did Not Advance To Next Stage

My plan did not advance to the next stage in the MillerCoors Business Plan Writing Competition.  That is OK, because the blessing was actually finishing a business plan.  That put me farther  ahead with As NOT Seen on TV than I would have been.
First of all, I was looking for stories to post, and putting [...]

I Need to Practice What I Preach

I was speaking with a client today about how she should brand herself.  The best way for her to brand herself is to become known as an instructional business, which is perfect for what she is doing.
