One Way to Write an Article or Story

Several years ago I wrote an article about one way to write an article. (That sure sounds redundant.) At any rate, I recently took a look at it, and I think it has some nuggets that may be valuable to some of you. I’m not going to repeat the entire article here since it’s a little long for a blog, but here’s a link.

I don’t always follow my own advice, but when I get stuck on an article or story, the method I outline here usually gets me going again. Hopefully there will be a few tidbits that you can make use of.

Nickel & Dime News - What We’re Up To Now

Did you miss an opportunity today? If so, help is on the way. We’re completing the final edit of our new book entitled "Opportunities - How to Find Them and What to Do With Them" and expect to have it out by the end of February. The book is richly illustrated with anecdotal stories and practical advice on developing and taking advantage of opportunities that come along every day, but are so often unrecognized.

We’re also putting the finishing touches on the next book in our series "Knit and Crochet Projects for You." We were surprised by the book’s popularity, but fortunately had a backlog of patterns so we only had to complete the models. We expect this book to be released in early March 2013.

We’ve got more projects to work on, and we’re continuing to develop our marketing plans. We want to thank all our readers and those who have given us such strong support while we develop our little company. It is you who have given us so much encouragement. Thank you all!

This is an intense, information-filled article by a man who knows what he’s talking about. Some of his information is stuff you probably already know, but some is surprising. Read his article here:

Our Books Are Now at Barnes and Noble

Like many of you, I’m often caught between writing and marketing. But every once in awhile, I decide to add my books to other sites. This time I chose Barnes and Noble’s Nook ebook program. If you have a Nook and are interested in acquiring one or more of our titles, you can find them here:

Our jewelry book series:

No Strings Attached - Vol 1 is here
No Strings Attached - Vol 2 is here

Our knit and crochet book:

Knit and Crochet Patterns For You - Vol 1 is here

And finally (for now), D. C. Cullen’s "101 Questions Christians Hope You Never Ask" has proven to be very popular. You can find the Nook version here
