Hi For the next three weeks, we’re getting ready for 2026 together. Yes, the new year is a traditional time to build new habits, but that date is totally arbitrary. It turns midnight every night. You can choose a “New Year” anytime you want. Every single day is a fresh chance to build your life, your writing business, and your big dreamy dreams. Instead of giant to-do lists and overwhelming goals that make you want to hide under a blanket, start small. Think “tiny but mighty.” Do just three things every day to move your writer business forward: 1. One thing to build your network. 2. One creative thing. 3. One thing to improve your craft. Do these three things every day and you will be amazed at where you are in three months. Future You will want to high-five Present You. Try it and then report back. I want to hear your wins, big and small, so I can celebrate your good news with you.

Hi Reader, Every year, I pick a theme, one simple idea I can use like a compass. Not a 37-item resolution list. Not a personality transplant.

Before you hide under a cozy blanket with your favorite novel, hear me out. Data doesn’t have to mean spreadsheets. Data can be as friendly as a sticky note. It’s just information that helps you make smarter choices. And if you’re...
Hi Reader, Every January 1, something delightful happens in the creative universe: Public Domain Day.
