Taming the Dragon: Can Dictation Be the Key to Massive Word Counts?
Dictation has become one of the topics among authors lately, ever since the Self Publishing Formula Podcast featured Scott Baker as a guest, and he extolled the virtues of Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. I know I've contemplated using dictation before, but never believed that I was a good fit for it. I did not think that …

How to create a great box set
All interesting ideas I hadn’t thought of when creating my cover for my box set!

I Have Commitment Issues
Oh, lordy, all of the above sometimes! An awesome post!
Hey everyone!
