When I decided four years ago to take creative writing seriously, the first thing I did was study. I couldn’t imagine trying to tackle a new profession without any training. I didn’t take classes, but I did read a staggering number of books of advice on writing that were written by famous authors.

“You do not lead by hitting people over the head - that’s assault, not leadership.”—Dwight D. Eisenhower
This quote is a perfect example of what I would like to talk about today. I started working for B5Media only four days ago, but already I can see that I am going to love having Douglas Hanna, the […]
I am pleased to present for your education and reading enjoyment The Carnival of Entrepreneurs that is being held today at Start Up Spark. I was lucky enough to to learn about this carnival in time to participate, but there are 34 other blogs as well, so make sure not to miss the wealth of […]
