Spoke at an Event Today

2500 words. I started the morning fresh with a speaking engagement at 9AM. I am giving a prerecorded talk at this year’s Inkers Con, which is one of the biggest self-publishing conferences. It’s AMAZINGLY well-run. I did a talk on Be a Writing Machine, and it was...

Finished Another Book Today

5000 words today. Hi-yah! Thanks to everyone who reached out with kind words about finishing my law degree. I appreciated that. I finished another book today, but I won’t be announcing that for a few weeks. All in all, a good day today, and I’m ready to get Beast Mode...

My Diploma Came Today

1500 words today. I got my law degree in the mail today. It’s a really nice diploma and it felt great to hold it in my hands. Now I just need to figure out where to put it. No Beast Mode-y counts today but that’s because I had some other stuff to handle. I delivered a...

Back to Beast Mode

4700 words today. Yessir! I was less “Beast Mode-y” though. I got an early start at 5:30AM which set me up nicely for the day. I didn’t dictate while doing chores. Actually, I didn’t dictate at all today. I would have probably hit around 6000-7000 words if I did....

Zero Today

0 words. Taught my final insurance class today, and that closes the book on what was a very fun, engaging, and helpful chapter of my career. I really enjoyed it and it made me a better public speaker and content creator. As such, no words today but I’ll make up for it...

Warming Up for Beast Mode

4000 words today. Pretty darn good for a week day, and a Monday at that. I took advantage of Amazon Prime Day and bought some new external hard drives so I can back up my work adequately. My current drives are getting old and I fear that they may die soon. I saved...

Kicked Butt Today

2000 Words. I spoke at Virtuous Con today and gave a demo on Scrivener. It was a great session, and very cool to see so many people of color and blerds in the (virtual) audience. Hopefully it will grow my audience. I got 250+ Writing Tips Vol. 2 off to my editor, with...

Killer Day

My designer delivered both book covers today. I published both Indie Author Confidential Vol. 5 and a new book that I’ll announce the official title tomorrow. That’s a win! I also finished reviewing 250+ Writing Tips Vol. 2. It’ll go through my editing engine tonight...

More Progress Today

0 words. I spent the day reviewing 250+ Writing Tips, Vol. 2. I’m around 20% through my review. It’ll probably take me through the weekend. Tomorrow I should get my book covers back, so I’m looking forward to that. They will probably be done in the morning, or late...

Progress!!

1000 words. I won my battle last night with the raccoons…We’ll see if it works long term. The raccoons were looking for grubs (which is a problem in and of itself)…so I put grub treatment down. I don’t normally have a grub problem, so the raccoons were...
