The problem with ADHD'ers using urgency/anxiety as our primary fuel to start shit is that there's a magical point after which more urgency/anxiety makes it LESS (often much less) likely that actually start. The best part is: you usually can't tell which side of that point you're on

Curiosity question: What is your biggest pain point when you take classes to help you further your writing career? What keeps you from either completing them or feeling successful?

Today marked the first and last time I go Black Friday shopping in person. Mad props to those who love this but I did not!

You know you’re in Wisconsin when every bar in town is packed at 6:30 the night before Thanksgiving.

While a controversial topic, this is a great use for GPT if you're not sure about how to craft great alt text.

Are you using the most valuable real estate in your book effectively? This one trick helped me increase read-through and backlist sales! write-your-own-path.ghost.io/seamless-ser...

At some point, people will need to realize being all-or-nothing on every issue won't get them the results they want to see. For one thing, it's impossible to please people who keep moving the goalposts. The "yeah, but what about..." is getting old. This is why we can't have nice things.

Let me clarify this: while I talk a lot about writing for authors with ADHD, the true focus is simplifying self publishing in a way that makes sense to neurodivergent minds. All are welcome, even those who are as neurotypical as they come.

As a neurodivergent manifestor, I love this Abraham Hicks quote. It reminds me that while I have the capacity for great thinking, strategy, and contextualization… Sometimes it’s okay to just feel the feeling and watch for what synchronicities it might bring. #LoA #RAS #manifestation
