I’m Throwing in the Towel

For the last 1.5 years, I have been preparing to narrate my own audiobooks, but I’ve been fooling myself. It’s just not feasible, economical, or time-respectful for me to narrate my own audiobooks. I desperately want to do it, and still may do so one book per year,...

Got My First COVID-19 Vaccine Today

Got my first COVID-19 vaccine today. I feel fine—just a little sore and fatigued. On a scale of impact, with 100 being maximum energy and 0 being dead, the shot knocked me down to about a 90 or so. Not too bad. Definitely get your shot as soon as you can. Then we just...

More Planning Today

I’m doing some research into potentially buying a new camera, but I’m just looking. I may do a mini-beast mode in April for some of my nonfiction. Other than that, I spent most of the day reading and got nothing for you. Have a good night.

Thanks for the Ideas

Everyone, thanks for the video ideas you gave me a couple days ago. All of them were great and I’ve captured them into my planning. I taught an insurance class today, which was a lot of fun—this class had people from all over the country—Alaska, Virgin Islands,...

Why I Recommend Planning

Last year, I released a course called “Writing in Hard Times.” It teaches you how to plan, navigate, and beat almost any bad issue life will throw your way as a writer. I gave it away to everyone as a pandemic special. To date it has zero sales and I haven’t made a...

Research Today

I’ve decided that the first thing I want to do in my “post law school” life is double down on YouTube. I have spent almost the entire day watching YouTube. Partly for pleasure, partly for education on how to make my channel better. A lot of things have changed in the...

Cleaning Saturday

Spent most of the day cleaning the house today. I started a writing session but got distracted by other stuff. Spent a lot of time reading (finished Happy Money by Ken Honda—great book) and watching a bunch of YouTube today. I’ve been doing a lot of research for...

Day of Rest

Spent most of the day reading today and making sure this week’s YouTube video went out on time. I never like to miss weeks, so I’m finally back on the horse. I also did some planning for the next 90 days or so. I feel like the “rest mode” I’m in right now will...

Regular Day

400 words today. I’ll take what I can get. I was very tired today so I blame that, but tomorrow is a new day. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on my law school exams. It feels good to be done, but it was pretty weird to wake up this morning and not have to...
