The start of something wonderful

We're rolling in to the last week of January already. I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've been home for Christmas. So much has happened, it's like I have a different life from the one I had in December.

PaperBox Books is rockin', we have more submissions and my next novel will be up for sale next month.

I started my new job on Friday. It's going to be stellar. The people are fantastic and the girls on the admin team are excited to have me with them (yay), the atmosphere is...

I got the job!

Four trips across Canada in eighteen months is hard for most budgets to handle. For an entrepreneur it can be even harder. Especially when two of those trips were so emotional, you couldn't think straight… if at all.

So late last fall, I decided to close SNB Consulting as a full time business and keep it as a support for PaperBox Books and Fiction Therapy and go searching for gainful employment.

2011 Week 2

So here we are at another Sunday. It's been a long week but it has flown by… a contradiction that makes perfect sense.

Week One Pulse Check

So, here we are at the end of 2011′s week one. How is the new year treating you and more importantly, how are you treating it?

So far, I've managed to do a whack of stuff for PaperBox Books. I've created posters of the book covers and business cards to had out. I'll have them uploaded and tested by the end of the day.

Any suggestions for other downloadable swag to help promote e-books?

I've sent out dozens of resumes for full time work. (2010 saw me cut back my consulting business to part time ...

Onward and Upward in 2011

I spent much of January 1st pondering my resolutions. Yes, I make resolutions every year and I do manage to keep most of them. Probably because I am constantly learning and improving and 'resolutions' just give me a chance to set yearly goals for things I'm already doing.

This year I have some events that are helping me by providing motivation and incentive.

For weight loss and finding a new job I have my brother's wedding in July.

This will be my 4th trip home in 18 months, so the travel...
