Published by Don on August 17, 2024

Meet Your Readers or Mow the Lawn

Published by Don on August 8, 2024

FRIDAY REVIEW

Published by Don on July 22, 2023

Here’s the review quickly. Though its a review of the last week, it’s actually a review of the last six or so. I have had to go up against a flair-up of my multiple sclerosis, a stroke, weeks of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. It all culminated in a surgical procedure on my right carotid artery. Simultaneously, my new friend, Substack cut off my four newsletters without answering my requests for reasons. My…

Why Do Authors Need a Mailing List? New Writer Questions #2

Published by Don on March 19, 2023

What’s the deal about mailing lists? Let me lay it all out for you. Some people think newsletters are spammy or commercial, or just a plain waste of their inbox room and resources. A lot of folk get too many emails and newsletters already. And enough is enough. I get asked, from time to time, why I keep talking about mailing lists and why they’re so important. An author needs…

My New Year Resolutions

My New Year Resolutions

Published by Don on January 13, 2022

Well, it’s the second week of 2022. Holidays, family visits, and snow have left the first week in shambles. My perennial first resolution of each year has become to forgive myself. OK, moving on. You guys who know me understand what a huge proponent I am of taking things one step at a time. Baby steps. A bite at a time. Incrementalism. The way I am coming to deal with both my new resolutions and…
