Interesting day today mostly playing with covers and Mid-Journey. That’s what I’ll focus on today. I had to do some assignments for the course I’m taking on cover design. I’m going to bare my soul out here… Keep in mind I just learned how to use InDesign a couple days...

Short post tonight as I have a speaking engagement. I am speaking to a few hundred Americans, Australians, and New Zealanders about self-publishing basics in a collaboration event between ALLi and IBPA (Independent Book Publishers Association). Last night’s event was...

Solid day today, but I had a lot going on. I’m still off the reading wagon… For data analysis, no work needed today. For marketing, I wrote my next newsletter which will go live Oct. 2ish. I also landed another speaking event in November re: Be a Writing Machine....

For reading, I fell off the wagon today. I’ll try to get back on tomorrow. For data analysis, I reviewed the edits I received for my productivity book. I was floored. To give you a reference, my last book benchmarked at 1 edit per 632 words. This book benchmarked at 1...

Solid day. For reading, I read more of IDW’s TMNt Vol. 10 but didn’t get very far. For marketing, I signed off on the omnibus cover of Year of the Rat. Looks really good. I also did a bunch of MidJourney art. I probably generated about 200 images. I posted in a forum...

Another good day today. No reading or data analysis unfortunately. For marketing, I designed some new book covers. All tests, all fake, but I am learning InDesign and basic design stuff. I’m surprised at how quickly I was able to put a few covers together. They’re...

Decent day today, though a little light on words. Reading—no work today. Data analysis—I tested a few new things and some use cases for a future macro. I’m trying to solve the homophone problem. Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled...

Today is a great day. Not only is it Friday, but today is surplus day. More on that in a minute. For reading, I continued with IDW’s TMNT Vol. 10. For data analysis, no work. For marketing, I spent time developing a presentation that I will be doing in conjunction...

Solid day today, and I got my surplus back over 10,000 words. I’m catching up quite nicely. For reading, I continued IDW’s TMNT Vol. 10. For data analysis, I identified an enhancement I can make to my book portfolio. Many of you are probably aware that Vellum now...

Today was a tough day, but I managed to get what I needed to get done. First, my wife and kid are sick, and I'm on the rebound from whatever I had earlier in the week. I'm still a little under the weather but operating at about 90 to 95 percent. Thanks to everyone for...
