I saw a billboard today about how your FIRST anything might not be your best but you have to put your ego aside and start. I asked AI to help me adapt it to something appropriate for us writers: Your first sentence may be rough. Your first paragraph will be clunky. Your first chapter could feel messy. Your first draft will be... imperfect. Your first ANYTHING you write may be. And that's okay! But you can't get to your polished draft, your best story, or your published book without writing that messy first one. So put your inner critic aside, silence the perfectionist, and just start writing. The world is awaiting your words.

I WAS INTERVIEWED yesterday for the Leaders Leading Leaders Podcast hosted by Reem Borrows. It is such a wonderful medium. In addition to writing articles and books it is one of my favorite ways to connect and communicate. (It is certainly the most efficient). Who here loves podcasts? I am looking to build a database of podcast hosts. Help me 🙏 As you know, I run a publishing company and have over 300 authors 📚, experts in their fields, who make great guests. Who here HOSTS a podcast? Knows a podcast that is great for our authors... Is connected with a Podcast Host we should connect with? Lets' connect and make magic. 👇Drop deets, link, description and anything relevant in the comments. 👇
