Hot off the press... my latest for Kindlepreneur:
Hot off the press... my latest for Kindlepreneur:
The Monday fires you spend all day extinguishing are surprisingly indifferent to the carefully crafted to-do list you compiled over the weekend.
The moment your writing starts to sound “impressive” is the moment you should stop and check if it still sounds like you. It’s easy to drift into sounding like a Very Smart Person On The Internet™ (clean, clever, vaguely interchangeable). But the stuff people remember is…
Finding your voice is 90% unlearning all the ways you learned to sound smart, likable, and completely forgettable.
Most About pages read like a dating profile crossed with a resume. “I love iced coffee, long walks on the beach, and empowering visionary creatives.” Nobody visits your About page because they’re curious about your favorite beverage. They’re there because they’ve already read…
Here's what a good About page does: It tells the truth no one else will say. It shares the belief that makes your work worth following. And it filters the wrong readers out before they waste your time. You don't need to be impressive. You need to be clear. Not "here's where…
Your "About" page can’t be perfect. It can only be honest. Write what you know right now. Tell us what matters to you. Say what you help people do. Then publish it — before you talk yourself out of it again.
You rewrote the hook. You rearranged the sections. You polished every line until they gleamed. But something’s still off... Here’s what most writers miss: Tone drift. Your piece starts punchy… and ends timid. Or starts conversational… and ends like a textbook. Or worse…
No one owes you their attention. Not even your subscribers. Not your followers. Not even your friends and family. You get read when your words deserve it. And editing is where you earn that. Not with polish. Not with perfection. With clarity, structure, and respect for your…
Writers like to say, “I need to cut this down.” Sometimes, sure. But most of the time, your draft isn’t too long — it’s just too hard to follow. You didn’t wander. You zigzagged. The fix isn’t trimming. It’s tightening. Line by line. Paragraph by paragraph. Idea by idea. Not…
The most powerful edits are invisible. They leave behind no clever phrasing that makes the reader pause... No repetition that makes them skim... No structure that forces a reread. If it reads smooth? If it feels clean? Then the edit did its job. It didn’t impress… It…
You know it was the right edit when you miss the line you cut... ...and still don’t bring it back.
You edited the piece, but did you actually change anything? Real editing doesn't always feel productive. It often feels uncomfortable. You cut the line you liked. Rewrote the section that "technically worked." Moved the ending two paragraphs up — and suddenly, the whole…
Editing isn’t about fixing typos. It’s about making all those big and small decisions you’ve been avoiding.
The hardest part of editing isn’t trimming fat. It’s admitting the intro doesn’t work. The middle drags. The ending just… ends. Not because you don’t know how to fix it. Because you’d rather not look.
The best hooks don’t shout, “Look at me.” They whisper, “You might need this.”
I used to waste half my writing time obsessing over the first few sentences. Not the structure. Not the argument. Just the hook. Then it hit me: I didn’t even know what the post was about yet. Now I write the hook last. After I’ve shaped the piece. After I know the tone.…
“Today I want to talk about…” Strong start... if your goal is to sound like a PowerPoint presentation.
The most common hook mistake? It promises something the post never delivers. Why? Because the hook was written before the writer knew what they were really trying to say. So the post meanders. The point shifts. The tension dies. Here’s the fix: Write the piece first. Then…
