Looking Back…
Doing a Lot of That This Year… Because of the fact that I sold my first two short stories 50 years ago and 40 years ago I was the first to walk across the Writers of the Future stage. Those kind of “zero” year dates will make anyone look around. And, of course, looking back over time can get you that wonderful 20/20 hindsight of seeing mistakes. I got two really good examples of that at the moment. The first one is looking back 50 years at the largest mistake I made in my writing and publishing career. The one mistake of instead of continuing to do what I had…

Last Day of the Sale and These Type of Blogs
Still Doing My Blog Every Night, No Worries… But now I am going back to the writing and publishing stuff, I bored myself with all this workshop-buy-this stuff. So since we have no more new Shopify stores on the horizon, thus no more workshop sales, I can go back to writing the branding series I started and also blogs about corporations and different things I have been wanting to get to. I am going to entertain myself here for a few months. Stay turned, might get interesting. (grin) I will also try to start a feature here promoting fiction Kickstarters at times and what works and doesn’t work with them…

Fifty Years of Mistakes
And I Am Still Making Them… That, I have come to learn, is part of living. If you are active and working, you keep making mistakes. (Wish that was not the case at times.) Tonight I recorded about thirty minutes (5 videos) of the first week of Learning from 50 Years of Mistakes. Great fun taking a ride back to that first year of college when I was 24 years of age, and what I was doing and how I made a mistake that would cost me 8 years of writing and sales. A single mistake. Eight years. But in those eight years I was married, divorced, married again, got…

Thinking of a Challenge For Myself…
50 Years Needs to Be Celebrated… Sold my first two short stories 50 years ago this year. Actually I sold them in the late fall of 1974. In May of 1974, I was a head golf professional at a Palm Springs Country Club. I would quit that job in July and head back to college at the University of Idaho in September. Two months later I had sold two short stories and a bunch of poems. So now, 50 years later, I want to celebrate. I did the 50 years of learning from mentors class on Teachable and the 50 years of learning from mistakes will start on May 7th.…
