Time For Some Accountability!
EXECUTIONGot another 3k done, but finished it much earlier in the day, which means I'll likely get bored sometime tonight and add another three thousand to it. With the summer approaching in about two months, I'm considering the "marinate" process (leaving a title alone for X amount of days, working on...- mws87

My Writing Fastlane
PUBLISHINGI'm glad you found some value in it. I wrote, like, 2 non-fiction titles, months ago when I didn't know what the hell I was doing. Not only that, but I just didn't have much to talk about and didn't see how I could add value through non-fiction, so I stopped. I write fiction now. I started in...- mws87

WHY we must protect places like TFF
LANDFILLTo be fair, the staff/mods here are usually the ones who filter the BS out of this forum, and that's mostly because, with their experience, their BS filters are well-calibrated. I don't think they rely on members to report posts. Actually, I think they get rid of the garbage on here before...- mws87

24 Year Old "Life Coaches "
OFF-TOPICYou are correct, of course. But it was an MLM pitch, didn't feel like typing the entire story haha. All the red flags were there (wanted me to meet a buddy of his to see if i would be a good fit for their program; we had so much in common that we should be the same person; the MLM keywords...- mws87

24 Year Old "Life Coaches "
OFF-TOPICLol, that's almost as good as the guy who came up to me in a book store and said "I'm 22 but I actually plan on retiring next year." It would have been the perfect moment to yell "go, go, gadget shoes!" and spring up and through the ceiling.- mws87

My Writing Fastlane
PUBLISHINGTake a moment to analyze what you wrote in that quoted post. . . 1. Yes, this is true. So why even bother writing it to begin with? Remember, adding value isn't piling on loads of easily-attainable information for a quick buck. I'm not saying you were money chasing or anything, but there should...- mws87

F*ck you Shark Tank.
LANDFILLI don't watch either (or much TV at all, actually) but I imagine one probably has people who work their a$$ off and still have a sense of humility while the other is a step-by-step guide on how to be the complete opposite.- mws87

Time For Some Accountability!
EXECUTIONWord Count Today: 3,000 I got tired of my legal yellow pads looking like the scribbled ramblings of a madman, so I decided to fully migrate my manuscript into Scrivener. After a while of setting it up, I'm feeling a lot better. I've noticed when writing in Word or Open Office things can look a...- mws87

Time For Some Accountability!
EXECUTIONIt relieves me to know I'm not the only one who gets into it's-done-I-need-to-publish mode! I don't even have a large audience yet (wishful thinking, maybe) and I still get overwhelmed with anxiety when I have a title finished up. YES! This reminds me of when I was 16 and used to sell music I...- mws87

Time For Some Accountability!
EXECUTIONLooks like today will be the first flat-line in sales (Mondays, huh? haha). Guess it's time to give up . . . . . . Jk. Knocked out only about 1200 words for my next novel (we'll call it Book #2). Had another story brewing in my mind (we'll call this guy Short-Story #1) that wouldn't go away...- mws87

Bought a huge house with a 3 car garage and a pool!
GOLD! MINDSETGreat progress, man. A lot of people talk about selling everything off to wipe the slate clean yet hardly any ever actually do it. Those Jeeps are great, btw. Treat it good and it'll do the same to you.- mws87

Writing/Kindle course advice?
PUBLISHINGSave your money. I was curious about his program, too. I couldn't find any reviews other than the ones on his site at the time. Had some extra cash and figured "what the hell". It's basically everything you can find on Google, or--even better--here. Take your ideas and put 'em down on paper...- mws87

Time For Some Accountability!
EXECUTIONAnd it shot up over 20,000 ranks this morning. Ha. I'm used to Saturdays being pretty minute, so I was a little surprised. The good thing is, since I've refined my work and started over, I haven't had any days without sales other than free promo days. And, even then, I still consider the free...- mws87

GoDaddy or GoHome

Time For Some Accountability!
EXECUTIONI am a little over 20,000 words into my next title. I was hoping to knock out 4,000 more yesterday, but ended up with only 2,000. Needless to say I was a little disappointed. I wish I could blame it on "writer's block" or something else, but the truth is I messed up -- I began over-thinking the...- mws87

Illustrator questions
PUBLISHINGI don't write in the children books genre, but I would suggest you check out upwork.com and search for illustrators. Check out some portfolios. If you already have an idea of what you want it to look like, show the artist the closest example you can find. As far as marketing goes, I would...- mws87

Tai Lopez is reading The Millionaire Fastlane today!
Yup. Tai paid for marketing, of course, but he also did something more--he became an internet meme. I'm not entirely sure if it was his intention to do so, but I know he's loving it. What's even better are the people riding the wave of "Tai Lopez Scam" keywords. And, let's not forget the...- mws87

GoDaddy or GoHome
MARKETINGUsed GoDaddy ONCE for hosting. Hated it. They've been my go to for domains for a while now, though. One thing I've noticed with them is they do a "check-in" call to see if you have any questions or need help. Thought that was pretty cool. Had a chat with their reps on the phone, nice folks...- mws87
