If I were to define "the right stuff", I'd have to explain it as the "stuff" you're good at, you enjoy doing, and that's most important. So, when I think about going back to natural basics in content and product creation, I'm forced to pay attention to those activities that will hit all three criteria … Continue reading Back to Natural Basics (in Content Creation): Focus on the Right Stuff
Happy Monday (or whatever day you may be reading this post)! I'm looking forward to another eventful week in content creation and the lessons it has in store for me. For the past few weeks, I almost feel like the overall theme of my lessons is not to forget what brought me to this point … Continue reading Writing is the Glue Holding Everything Together
Admittedly, I'm not a fan of my current placement on The Road to Authorship. I'm in a phase where I don't wholeheartedly belong. It reminds me of an uncomfortable feeling of displacement, where I'm no longer content in staying where I've been living but I'm not quite sure where my new residence will be just … Continue reading A Displaced State of Writing: Weeks Post-Manuscript
I heard it said, by several authors, that there should be a time when you step away from your book after writing the draft and take a breather. Since I can't claim the ownership rights to this brilliant advice, I'll just go ahead and jump on the bandwagon. I'm in total agreement with this statement; … Continue reading Writing Rest
Happy Wednesday, everybody! I woke up early today with some writing on my mind and some new info to share with you.

I didn't want to make the title of this post too long, so I settled with "Writing Momentum (Part One)". However, if I'd gone with my original, more lengthy title, today's reflection would have been named "Writing Momentum... All the Little Things (Part One)". Week 11 encapsulated all the mini lessons that I've learned over … Continue reading Writing Momentum (Part One)
The past four Wise Sayings were like epiphanies that floated down to my brain and instantly spoke to a situation I was dealing with at the time or had dealt with in the recent past, resembled a call to action that has been on my mind for some time, or emphasized a better way of … Continue reading Wise Saying #5
I am happy to announce that, with all of the obstacles that seemed to present themselves directly in my face last week, I was still able to achieve my weekly word count goal. I'm not going to say that all my currently typed-up words are in pristine shape with no possibility of revision, but I … Continue reading Writing Oddities and Organization
Week 5 was all about the organization. I pretty much stopped writing this week and got my stuff in order. But don't worry, my very temporary detour of stopping on the sideline to attend to a few housekeeping items that hadn't been appropriately addressed is not going to get me off track. Actually, week 5 … Continue reading Structured Approach to Writing
