Howdy Reader! My wife writes historical fantasy. She's gearing up to re-release three books that she published a decade ago. They're with an editor now and she hopes to get them back over the next few months. Aside from that, part of selling them again is giving her books and novellas a unified look and feel for their covers. She's learned a lot about how to put these together. She told me that "it was keeping her from writing." I guess it was, but she figured out a ton of stuff in doing those book covers. She pulled together a process for doing covers that look pretty darn good. That's not only content. That could be a product at some point. Don't discount activities that aren't directly your core thing. They count, and offer a behind-the-scenes look at what the core thing involves.

Howdy Reader! Chatted with a dear friend tonight. He's approaching a crossroads with his career and warned me that he was going to ask for advice. He was looking at certificate programs that lead to jobs. His talent stack is deep. He knows how to do many, many things. Me being me, I mentioned becoming a content creator. This is my thing I can't shut up about. I'll turn the conversation at the first hint to this topic. It's a passion of mine. Whether I'm super-good at it yet or not, I'll talk...
Howdy Reader! I regularly come down with a case of the Oh-I-Need-To's. "Oh, I need to print out that song for practice tomorrow." "Oh, I need to send that email to Philip to invite him over." "Oh, I need to make sure the Amazon Prime thing is handled." These are examples of the Oh-I-Need-To's that came up tonight. At least, these are the ones I can recall! Why I get the Oh-I-Need-To's This happens because I still don't have a full task management system that I trust. It's not that I haven't...
