As I embark upon my new book writing journey, I thought it justifiably fitting to discuss how important mindset is when you're starting a new venture that you want to see successfully come to fruition. As of this day, I don't personally know of anyone who starts out on a goal-achievement journey to fail. Do … Continue reading Reblog – Self-Publishing Lesson #2: A Writer’s Mindset
Before I go any further with the DOM Build-a-Book market research, it's time to put the breaks on, stand still for a moment, and take on that whole "ma'am with a plan" outlook for this current book baby I'm trying to nourish and grow. I was so completely ready to feed this bookling a full … Continue reading DOM Build-a-Book Project: A Book Begins with a Plan
Okay, I get it. So, I didn't get much of a response from my original post, Questions from a Writer to the Writing Community – Volume 1. I posed the same questions (in that post) that I'm extending to you today. However, I left out one key component from the original post that I'm actually … Continue reading Questions from a Writer to the Writing Community – Volume 2
I decided to close out this eventful week with a little humor. They say laughter is good for you. So, in recognition of the importance of your overall well-being, I dedicate this reblog to your health and pray that it can put an upward curl to your lips today. I originally posted this piece on … Continue reading Reblog – A Little Manuscript Humor
We're well into the second quarter of 2020 and I thought I'd revisit the writing (content creation) goals that I'd set for myself in 2019, still had remaining at the end of 2019, and had to carry over into 2020. And finally, my intention was to then complete these goals in the first part of … Continue reading Revisiting my Left-Over 2019 Writing Goals
Today marks the beginning of the unveiling of the second book I intended to self-publish. However, I stopped short of completing it. Plans changed and I later decided to bring parts of the unfinished work to Degrees of Maternity as weekly blog posts. Through these book excerpts, you'll get a more detailed glimpse of how … Continue reading Untitled Book #2 – Part 1
Sometimes when you write, it's good to just work through those challenges you face when applying those finishing touches to your book. Sometimes, your blessing (the completion of an awesome work of art) is just around the corner. And in these instances, I'm one of the first people to encourage others to push through and … Continue reading A New Product Idea and the Second Book
I've been feeling a sense of overwhelm for some time now and I know it's driven by the numerous tasks and goals that I've set for myself as well as the daily, recurring responsibilities from "life happening". Having much to do and not enough time or woman power to do it is not new news; … Continue reading Plan of Action for Left-Over 2019 Goals
All I can say is "WOW". It's hard to believe that a decade is coming to an end and a new one is on the horizon. And what's even harder to believe is that two full weeks (December 15th - 28th) went by soooooooooo incredibly fast and I didn't get much done at all in … Continue reading Writing Goals for Remainder of 2019 – Year-End Report
There are about two weekly reports remaining for the year; and I would like to say that I'm going to get a lot accomplished in the next two weeks and few days, BUT . . . No "buts" here. I actually plan on getting a lot accomplished in the next two weeks. That's my plan, … Continue reading Writing Weekly Report 11 + Goal Disruption
