I listened to my custom this morning and felt some recon this afternoon. I was emotional but it didn’t last long. I was like a machine at work and productive when working on personal projects.

Work wise, I keep getting a lot of attention from people in a positive way. Also people are being incredibly respectful. I’m assuming this is coming from Gloryseeker and Sultan.

I started to learn about dictation and it’s use for writing professionally. I have wrist issues from the military which adds difficulty to certain things like typing for long periods of time and working out on my wrists. It’s the reason I do resistance band workouts. I keep seeing recommendations for Dragon speech software, but the cost is high. I’ll look for alternative programs that perform the same function.

I’ve been listening to Ready, Fire, Aim by Michael Masterson. The book is excellent and changing my perspective on business. I’ve done everything to have a publishing business except the one thing that would make me money, marketing and selling it. The book is doing some healing that I am in dire need of.

There is a course on Udemy on book marketing. I’ve started going through it and making changes. It falls in line with what I learned in Ready, Fire, Aim. I need to sell what I have and then adapt to how the market responds. If the book needs updating or corrections I’ll do it when they are needed. For now I need to focus my time and energy on getting sales.

So far I’m at two loops of the custom. I’ve had a total of 3 book ideas. The first one is great, the other is okay, and the last involves writing with someone else. I’ll look more into the first one after I get sales moving on my first book.
