I think you'll find that the effort you spend on writingwill be the same, but you'll feel less pressure, and produce better work. For example, this morning I am enjoying some work on fiction instead of blogging because I can, and that makes the blogging more enjoyable, too. Have a great holiday.
I'm really proud of you, Shonali. As you know blogging this long takes fortitude, and it is a very personal trial. I can't believe I've been doing it for 7+ years now. But if we didn't write here, would we not write or create elsewhere? I think that's the truth about bloggers. They are just modern writers. God bless you, and keep rocking the free world.
It's really frustrating when people overpromise and cannot deliver. I am dealing with a similar issue with one of my vendors. Hang in there! Find a new one!
@Danny Brown I deleted my prior comment, and am just going to exit the conversation. Not worth the fight. Good luck with the book marketing!
Thank you. Right on time for me.
@Danny Brown I wonder what all of my fellow alum in Georgetown University's Communications, Culture and Technology Masters program would think of that last question. Or for that matter anyone reading this with a masters or doctorate degree.
This is as real as it gets. You are Shonali to me, nothing more than that, nothing less. it's too bad we live in a world where people throw each other down, through spite, through religion, through race, through insistance on teaching people lessons or what's right, and on, and on. It's always about wanting to be better, smarter, richer or smarter than someone else. And that's a damn shame. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That's one hell of a sex party. Sweeping up the carcasses with a broom after the fact is always an odd moment. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
@KenMueller @geoffliving LOL, I get that. I write the big stuff because I'm an artist in my own mind. Yeah, I'm going to go into a nihilistic analysis about the pomposity of this last sentence now. Cheers!
I go back and forth on these, but they surely do ease my mind when time is short.
Jackie Huba has always been one of the brightest minds in this business. Her book on the one percenters started almost everything in contemporary influence marketing approaches. I'm sure this will be a fantastic read, too. Thanks for hjighlighting it!
Yes, death is at the core of existence. If we cannot face death, then we cannot face life. It empowers us to do what matters. Thanks for sharing this with me.
