#Procedures What is a Single Source of Truth? 💡 A Single Source of Truth (SSOT) means having 1 central, up-to-date document. Not multiple conflicting versions. Policies and procedures should always be the SSOT to prevent errors and inconsistencies. Is your documentation unified? #Procedures #Writing

I'm working on a new book, about the Mothman, filled with meyhem, violence, and infidelity--good clean family fare just in time for the Holidays. So far, this is my favorite shot for the cover.

Writing advice that's actually, objectively good: Keep a list of names you like. Guy names, gal names, unisex names, surnames. You hear a name you like, add it to the list. It'll save you so much time when you need to name your characters! #writingcommunity
