"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."rn~ Steve Jobs US computer engineer & industrialist (1955 - )

I know the moment I realized who I was supposed to spend my life with. It was a Sunday in August 1987. He was a friend who shared my penchants for B-movies, Monty Python, and the band Rush. We were driving back to my house after spending the afternoon at a nearby park. I looked at him at some point and simply knew. At the time, it was ridiculous. There was no romantic connection between us. But in that instant, I felt what I call a Deep Know. A year later, I was in love with

Giving something away for f-r-e-e is one of the best ways to attract attention. People just can’t resist it. And for this reason, giveaway reports are an essential marketing tool for businesses that want to generate prequalified leads online. In other words, if you’re trying to build a list of people you can market to by e-mail, you need to write a lead generation special report. For example, last year I started publishing my newsletter and wanted to get lots of subscribers signed up fast. So I wrote a special report that I knew would appeal to my ideal audience.

I read the one-page intro to my 4th mystery to my sister-in-law, a retired nurse and a non-writer.

Having to do something you don’t want to do isn’t hard to imagine. We run into it almost every day. It usually involves change, time, attitude and choice, but not necessarily in that order. There are some things we are faced with that bring out the two-year-old in us as we tantrum and say “no” both verbally and behaviorally. The doctor says we can’t eat sweets, so we buy a big bag of Snickers. The workplace says we can’t smoke, so we hatch all sorts of devious plans to do it anyway. We need to lose weight, so we skip anything that looks healthy or involves movement. It’s all a big fat NO!r

For those new to the Internet, the popularity of blogs has increased in the last decade. Almost every topic can be found in a blog. With this new rise to fame, blogs are being used as a tool to improve business by flagging search engines and driving traffic to your website. What is a blog, you ask? Well, a blog was originally called a “web log” and was shortened to “blog.” It is basically a website. It is a forum for individuals to express any thought they have at any time through an “e-diary,” where viewers can find and read these posts.

Would you force yourself to run a two hour marathon when you haven't even jogged 1/2 a mile yet? Setting writing expectations that are too high is the same kind of recipe for disaster.
