Friday Write-Day: Pre-Holiday Stress Time!
The holidays are usually somewhat stressful for me. Just making sure I’ve find appropriate gifts for people and can get to all of the family events is more than enough to think about.
Work has been stressful this week, largely because I was trying to wrap up a lot of things before being off for a few days.

10 Thoughts from Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I thought about writing a full-fledged review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi after seeing it on Friday night, but I’ve had several days to mull it over and read some other articles about it.

Our marketing efforts this year were… lackluster, despite my big talk way back in January. I don’t need to dissect our numbers (or my budget) to find the reason why, however.
The main culprit: I didn’t publish my book this year. I think most would agree with me that this was a wise decision, but it has necessarily delayed my own marketing efforts.
Still, there are some key lessons I can derive from this non-campaign. But first, let’s dig into the numbers. Here were my original marketing goals for this year, focused mostly on growing our audience. Continue reading “Marketing 2017 Wrap-Up”

Thoughts fly in at the

Sometimes, inspiration comes, not when you least expect, but in the manner you least expect.
On Not Publishing in 2017
In case you haven’t caught on yet, I am definitely not publishing The Warden of Everfeld: Memento this year. Now it’s time to officially own it and look forward to next year. Continue reading “On Not Publishing in 2017”
