Thinking this year has been a bitch so far? Here’s what I’ve done since January: 1. Finished a manuscript, did a thousand edits and changes after it was professionally edited and decided to retain my creative rights and publish it myself. 2. Started Badass Books Publishing Company 3. Started the research arm of my business…The…
Things I Learned While Writing & Publishing A Book: 1. There will be days when no words come. Don’t sweat it. Tomorrow will be better. 2. You will never think the book is ready. You will tell yourself it needs one more read-thru. Make it great, then let it go. 3. You may love what…
You feel bummed. A constant, low level disappointment at how life turned out. Except sometimes you’re pissed about it. Occasionally you’re confused about it, like how did this happen? Where did it go wrong? Mostly you accept it. Most of your friends aren’t living the dream either. They’re no happier than you. Well, I’m calling…

While you’re waiting for the full Monty, you can catch excerpts and useful…
