The “I don’t have time” Lie

I want to do Morning Pages. I’ve read about them endlessly. Given my view of personal writing as a very effective form of therapy, Morning Pages should be right up my alley. One of the reasons I moved to a Pixelbook was so that I could write them by hand on my tablet without having […]

Building a publishing career on $50?

When I opened up my Facebook Ads account to check on how well my single ad to my free book was performing, given the steady stream of sales that were coming in, I almost fell out of my chair. I thought I would be looking at a bill of a few hundred bucks that I […]

I stayed up until 3:45am, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I sipped on my lukewarm hazelnut coffee, blinking my bleary eyes while the light from my monitor seared my corneas. Glanced at the clock – it was after 11pm. Still two more chapters to go.

Review: Why The Pixel 3a is the Best Fit for Me (and Probably You, Too)

I have needed a new phone for a while. That’s not because I was bored with my phone. I have been rocking a first-generation Google Pixel phone for two-and-a-half years and loved every bit of it. I just had some issues with it that rendered it nearly unusable (and mainly my fault – see below). […]

It’s May, and that means the year 2019 is approaching its halfway point. This was going to be the year where I start “rapid releasing” – which is releasing new books on a regular, fast schedule. Lots of content going out, building my audience, rewarding my readers, yadayadayada. I haven’t released a new book yet. […]

You’re Rich and You Don’t Even Know It

I never imagined I could sing by myself in front of a crowd of hundreds while controlling a crabby child in my arms. But last Sunday, I did that. My wife and I sing in the praise band at our church once a month. We have for the last couple years, and it’s been a […]

I wanted a Pixelbook, so I bought a pocket notebook (wait, what?)

Late last year, I switched from my MacBook Air to a Chromebook. I’ve long been a fan of the Chromebook, and the platform is just a perfect fit for almost all of my needs. The Chrome OS operating system has grown by leaps and bounds. With the integration of touchscreens, convertible devices (that switch from […]
