Question: What are you thinking about doing that seems really difficult right now? You can leave a comment by clicking here.
This is going to sound silly, but I’m thinking about going to a writer’s conference for the first time (Orange County Christian Writers Conference). That’s difficult for those of us who are introverts. š But it’s literally 10 minutes from my house so I pretty much have to go. No excuses.
Your product launch sounds interesting – I hope you’ll share more info on your plans! Good luck!
On a totally random side note, I just have to share my writing excitement for the day: the post I wrote this morning became my most shared post in my blog’s history – 1280 shares and counting! It brought over 6000 people to my site in 10 hours…I need to come up with more like that! lol
WOOOHOOOO! Congratulations, Natasha. That’s awesome. You’re up to some great things! So can you analyze it a bit? Why the extra attention for this one?
Thanks! I would love to know the answer to that! I’ve read it over and over, trying to figure out why “this” one. It’s now gotten over 19,000 page views and has been shared over 2,800 times; I’m getting a new email subscriber every 5 minutes. It’s unreal. I think it must have hit close to home for a lot of people – either because they experienced the same growing up or because they realized it’s a problem with their own kids. Still, I’m baffled! But it’s exciting. My email list is exploding from it. I have my first speaking engagement tomorrow, so it’s a good boost of confidence. š
I’m celebrating with you, Natasha. And you’ll definitely be able to leverage this post somehow in the future–be that through an email incentive, a product concept, or some other way. Be on the lookout for possibilities!
Finishing my middle grade manuscript. I had set a goal of February 28, but I’m still performing research. I’m eleven chapters in, so moving the deadline isn’t the end of the world, but lately I feel like my days slip away without much accomplished.
I’ve been there, Cheryl, as we all have. Hang in there. These things ebb and flow. Just don’t give up!
I’m thinking about publishing a short ebook to use as an incentive to encourage people to subscribe to my blog.
Anita, as someone who’s done this, I can tell that in my own experience it was totally worth the effort and time. Go for it!
I’ll start. I’m thinking about launching a product and giving a significant portion of the profits to charity.
Someday I dream to do this with my writing… to give the profits away.
Go for it, Lisa!
