If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!The books and web pages I read affect me a lot. I use them as tools sometimes. If I read a book on productivity, I become more productive while I am reading it. If I read a book on [...]

I have gradually built up a list of invisible rules for this blog. What are invisible rules? Rules set by the popularity of past posts. Rules that cause writer’s block and stage fright. And I hate rules.
Why are they invisible? Because I never stated them to myself but they pop up whenever I have a [...]

I went back to Darkroom today. I needed only to see the words continuing on the black screen to know that I missed this. I think I actually type faster that I write now. I cheat though and look at the keys as I am typing.

I never can tell when an idea is going to occur to me. One time it’s while I’m driving to work. The next, while I am mowing the lawn. But I can almost guarantee it will happen when I least expect it.

Everything blends together in my mind. I haven’t figured out yet if this is normal or not. The first time I noticed this was when a boss told me to leave my personal life at home.
"Hmmmm…. Are we talking Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind or Clockwork Orange forget?"
I would have said that but he [...]

I have been reading The Four Hour Work Week lately. It takes a while. I get a half hour in here and ten minutes there, but I will get through it. It has made me take a hard look at my habits.
A lot of my time is spent checking sales, checking stats, checking for comments [...]
