I put this blog into deep freeze on July 15th of last year because I was in the process of simplifying my life and narrowing my activities in an effort to produce more focus on a specific project. I realized that this decision was a major error on my part.

The act of personal publishing had been contributing both to my clarity of thought, personal focus, and to my quality of life. Imposing even a 30 minute requirement to write on a daily basis reduced the time available to me for other activities, but the focused thinking and writing time also improved the effectiveness of the rest of my day.

Writing conveys many benefits to the author, and publishing – the act of putting forth what one has written for anyone to read – creates additional rewards.

It’s time for me to claim those rewards once again.

1. Good point about personal publishing. Writing is therapy and marketing and all sorts of great self expression. Kudos on your decision to do more.

2. Thanks Sara! As you can see, I haven’t unleashed my inner author yet, but that will change soon!
