Happy New Day

Happy New Day.

Awoke at 3am.

Filled with ideas and excitement.

But if i start working at 3am, i miss two hours of sleep.

Short-term, like until about 1pm, it would be an advantage.

But after lunch, i’d be ready for a nap – i’d rather not.

Decision time – so i close my eyes and hope to not reawaken until 5am.

Probably 10 more looks at the clock as time seemed to stand still.

i fought the temptation to arise.

Hard.

Perseverance paid off.

Eventually and excitedly began at 4:55am.

The 2018 Disney Way Keynote Speaking has been busy January through May and i’m now officially on a Summer sabbatical through September.

Hell-bent on finishing the series of Disney Business books that have have been incubating, two-thirds completed, in my mind and heart.

To think, write, and share without expectation is glorious

Disney Keynote Speaker
Prevailing wisdom is context neutral.

 

To think, write, and share without expectation is glorious.

The attitude it takes to surrender to the marketing noise and follow your own path – priceless.

By the way, i define marketing noise (aka advice) as all the stuff the guru(s) and the want-to-be(s) shout as loud as they can to get your attention and your money.

Ordered and paid for Titan last night

Seth Godin's new book Titan
Weighs over 17 pounds, 800+ pages. Expensive. Worth it?

 

Preordered Titan months ago. Ordered and paid for it last night before bed.

You can read a brief summary here.

Worth it!

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

The writing epiphany from The Crown of the Continent

Lake McDonald reading room
Never knew there was a reading room in Glacier National Park (Lake McDonald Lodge).

 

Want to be a writer?

Or is there some other dream?

The secret to getting there?

Ship.

Daily.

In spite of the fear it’s not good enough.

One more thing, don’t worry about becoming famous, worry about being authentic (or fascinating) enough that your Family and friends will find value.

Write like you mean it

Sanibel Island Pizza
Tradition on every Writer’s Retreat to Sanibel is to stop at Island Pizza on the way to the beach cottage.

 

Cheryl has been working for me off and on since i first began in 2008, even before i incorporated as an LLC.

This past week she spent hours editing (rewriting and making artistic enhancements) much of the new website copy.

Why?

Because she thought the current copy and layout could be improved.
