Tackling your “list”
Have you ever written something on your to do list that is already done, just so you can have the pleasure of crossing it off and feeling like you’ve accomplished something? Yep. I do that. And although some loved ones who shall remain nameless mock me for it (just a little), I have no plans to stop.
Why do I do it? Read more

Interview Series – Maude Stephany, Ghostwriter
Ghostwriting is something I’ve always found interesting. Who are these talented people who live their creative lives shrouded in a cloak of mystery? What do they do? How did they get into being a writer-for-hire? How could you? These questions and more are answered in this interview with a real, live ghostwriter!
The power of silence
Every now and then, it’s important to wipe the slate of your mind clean for a while, and then see what appears on it while you revel in silence.
In this busy world we live in, we’re constantly bombarded with sound, visuals, information, responsibilities – we’re in a permanent state of “available” to essentially whatever chooses to assault our senses. Most of the time this doesn’t really register for me(to a certain extent I thrive on the challenge of filtering all that), until suddenly I realize I’m twitchy, and my brain feels so full it might explode, and I actually can’t stop the thoughts from processing, or even concentrate on just one thing at a time.

Interview Series – Elise Robine Yohm, Medical Intuitive
I find it interesting to learn about different career paths people have chosen – especially when it’s health and wellness related. Different approaches and treatments work for different people, and the more we know about the options out there, the better we can be at taking an active role in our own health.
Also, as a writer – the people I meet everyday are a great inspiration for story ideas! You just never know what job your next main character might have in a novel…
Now, grab a cup of tea and prepare to open your mind to Elise Robine Yohm as she explains a bit about what a medical intuitive does.
The official release of the “stickmen” Hip Protector video!
I’ve been pretty quiet online lately, and that’s mainly because I’ve been working on several big projects that are all readying for launch at roughly the same time. The perfect storm of deadlines – which means that I’ve been spending every spare minute working on stuff I can’t…quite…talk about…yet. Thus, the radio silence. Easier to say nothing at all!
However, the moment has come for the release of the first big project – a short animated film! Read more
Backing up your WordPress Website to Dropbox
I have a few clients who I’ve created WordPress based sites for, and they have their website hosting with Godaddy. I thought it would be fun to kill two birds with one stone. Make a tutorial for them showing them how to back up their websites, and at the same time provide people with an opportunity to play with something I created on the new software I’ve been using to make interactive e-learning materials. Website not hosted by godaddy? Just use the backup to dropbox section of the tutorial! Read more
