Lately, I’ve been reading more than I have been writing. It’s odd to find myself in this predicament. I read Laura Davis’ book The Last Thing He Told Me in 2 days. I stayed up all night the 2nd night just to finish reading it, and then threw the book because I was so mad …
New Writing Routines
After near burnout from trying to keep up with writing content for 10 websites, I decided to do some analyzing and determine my next best course of action. The biggest change of all had to do with 3 of my online stores. I merged them all into one, and it has been the most liberating …
WIP: Changing Routines
I’ve been trying to find the right amount of time to write along with all of my other responsibilities. That’s not always easy because I know that I write better first thing in the morning. I suppose that has a lot to do with the fact that I always did the majority of my writing …
The results of the AI experiment is in
Remember that time not so long ago when I made the comment that AI couldn’t possibly replace a human writer? The results of my experiment are in, and I think I’m going to have to eat my own words. I started and launched a blog in February of this year. The content was generated using …
Is AI the next big author?
Lately the headlines in my newsfeed has been about AI, and how it will be able to replace humans when it comes to creating written content. Is it possible that a computer program can create written content better than a human? When I think of writing, I think of something personal, whether that personal is …
The Frustration is Real
I’ve been extremely frustrated lately with the fact that when I sit down with every intention to write in the evenings, I can never find that spark of inspiration. What’s the deal? All day at work, I mull over ideas in my head and I’m certain that as soon as I’m home I will put …
Did you miss me?
Sorry for the MIA. So much has happened since my last blog post. I lost my domain name. Apparently some foreign retail store now has it. They are benefitting from the traffic that I had worked many years to create. I’m mad about that, but I refuse to pay them for the return of my …
Sidetracked
This week I allowed something to sidetrack my progress. Everything was going well. I made two sales, and I sent those out early, but when I decided to create some new items, it completely stalled my progress. I had several new items that needed to be embroidered, and I woke up Tuesday thinking about my …
Changes
After much introspection, I decided it was time to make some changes to my business model. This pertained mostly to the ecommerce businesses that I created over the past 3 years. June was such a busy month for me. I planned to make the grand announcement on July 27th (which coincidentally is my oldest son’s …
Full Speed Ahead
During the course of this long weekend, I actually made several huge steps towards progress. On top of launching 2 more websites, I started designing and prepping another. I should have it up and running in a few weeks. I decided, why slow down now? I think I’ll be able to find the extra time …
