Allow me to tell you: We’ve overhauled, revamped and created a truly extraordinary resource for fiction writers everywhere, and we’ve packaged it up into a very entertaining and useful book called How to Create Believable Characters. More importantly, I have my first ebook launch next week, which is very exciting!

Charles Johnson, author of the 1724 book, A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates , described Teach as “such a figure that imagination cannot form an idea of a fury from hell to look more frightful.” ” He’s not the sort of character I’d usually hang around with.

So, the next logical step was to give you a complimentary service, in the form of a business card transcribing service. I recently started my own business and I have all my receipts organized in envelopes and was debating whether or not convert all of this into electronic form. You expand.

The word blunt was referring to the form rather than the content. As I dug into this feedback, I found out that people didn’t actually have a problem with me being honest; they had a problem with the way I was delivering my ideas. This was the problem.

Namely, to write in free form whatever crosses my mind. Well, more or less in free form. There are already a few things that I’d like to talk about, they just won’t be in the form of a list.

You’re going to write an ebook – perhaps your first! And to keep yourself accountable, you tell all your readers to expect the ebook by the end of the month. Sure, that might mean a few caffeine-fuelled, late-night sessions … but your ebook will be done, dusted, and out the door. Writing an Ebook isn’t a Race.

If this blogger has always pulled out every trick in the book to get money for things totally not worth the price, then it is safe to assume the worst and that he is probably out to scam you.

Questions in their simplest form draw our attention to a problem, and then curiosity starts digging into the problem. I remember my son at five years old once asked me, “Mommy, why do I always confuse my left and right, but I never confuse my up and down?” Such a simple question, but the answer befuddled me…and the question was a valid one.

Listening to music or reading a book are processed in more recent parts of the brain, which are specialized in performing these types of tasks.

Usually, when something is very easy, it is not impressive in any shape or form. Beating your past mile running time, or amount of books read per month, or days in a row eating healthy food will be impressive to anyone you let know about it as it occurs. It is very easy to lose your cool in a tough or argumentative situation.

You’d lose a crucial part of your life (and your income, if your writing forms all or part of your paid work).

Denial is a form of rejecting reality. Accepting you did something that hurt somebody (most of the time, it’s you who is hurt, that’s true). Acceptance makes things manageable again. When you were in denial, there wasn’t any handle to reality. But now, if you made it to the acceptance stage, there’s hope.
