We are sponsored by Scribophile! Check out their writing classes here! I did a Google search (uh, AFTER I recorded this,) and found that the writer I reference in this podcast is Eugene Schwartz. You can read more about his method in this post. His magic number was 33, but I'm keeping mine at 34 because he was a copywriter and I write fiction so they're one minute different. (It's like being one louder.) Getting bored is important to creating, except that technology has not allowed us to be bored

Sup? I record from my car in the rain as the dog is getting rehab. (Knees, not addiction). I figured the numbers from 2023: Estimated 34,444 downloads per month. Down about 10k/mo from 2021, which was down about 10k/mo from 2020. Here's the link to the Be a Bestseller 4.0 course. The videos are free for 48 hours after release, but you can get permanent access for $37. (I am taking this course now so I can't verify the awesomeness.

[ISBW] [Bite-Sized] "I could do that if I wanted to..."

I Should Be Writing ·

2022/10/29

It saves us from realizing that sometimes things don't work out when we take the chance. But it also means we don't accomplish some things we may have otherwise, had we taken the chance.
