Excuse me, do you have a minute?

Sitting here bracing for tropical storm Irma and of course, working on my business. This morning I've got my business owner hat on and am working on some to-do's for the lifestyle coaching I do via The Next Chapter. If you've got a minute (and I didn't send you the survey link via email), please …

Return to Hell

Or as most might put it, I'm back on Facebook. Sigh.  Damn those marketing and promotion experts who stress the need for a social media presence, lol. For real, I've got two business pages and my author's page on Facebook. I'll be using those for promotions, advertising events, and just general expansion of my reach …

2 Legit So We Can Quit – our day jobs that is.

So, as you know, I've spent the last eight years publishing my own work and occasionally coaching writer's from "blank page to published" under the name Nowata Press Publishing & Consulting.  I've made a decent hobby of things so far, but now, it's time to level up as they say and turn this into a …
