Everyone Has a Super Power. Mine Just Happens to be Ridiculous. #dragoncon2015 #stephenamell
Do you have a superpower? I have one, and yes, it’s totally ridiculous BUT(!) it also makes me pretty happy, so that works. My superhero power is Navigating Cons. That’s it. See? Ridiculous. First of all, you have to understand I love Comic/Fan Conventions. But if you follow this blog […]

Arriving, as in, I’ve Arrived (right?)
Confession: There’s nothing I like better than to read a bad review of a book I didn’t like. I said it. Now…I rarely, VERY RARELY, look at any reviews before I read a book. First of all, if i see something negative I can’t shake it and I will look […]

Things I do: Systems vs Goals
I told you guys in my last post that I’m reading a book by Scott Adams about being successful (or not successful–it covers both). One of his main themes is ditching the concept of goals and moving toward developing systems. “My problem with goals is that they are limiting. Granted, […]

How Much Do You Want It?
So I love reading advice books. Is that what they’re called? Maybe not. Non-fiction books by other successful people? They’re listed under business, creativity, careers, biographies (or whatever their publishers think will ping the amazon god’s algorithms.) Whatever they are I love them and I especially love them when they’re […]

Here we go….
Confession: Of all the books I’ve published I’m the most nervous about Creature of Habit. Out of like, 87969700869 books, THAT is the one I’m most worried, anxious, apprehensive about publishing. It makes no sense right? I mean, we already know people like it. It’s definitely more cleaned up. Less…grammar […]

Testing The Water: Kindle Unlimited
So I’m sure you’ve all heard of Kindle Unlimited. I don’t even know how to explain amazon things like this. Basically you pay a fee (for Prime or Kindle Unlimited) and then you get access to things (in this case unlimited Kindle page reads). Typically at first there were cries […]

Unpopular Opinion: Ugh, Margo Roth Speigelman
It’s no real secret I lost my love for John Green. His big, public, inaccurate *thing* about self-publishing did me in. Even so, Once Upon a Time I loved his books. So I’ve decided to share them with my oldest minion, because just because something annoys me doesn’t mean it […]

10 Tips for Running a Business (Or Two businesses. Whatever.)
As the co-owner of a small business I’ve always felt like a bit of a fraud. Like, we’re not Starbucks or that trendy boutique with the most perfect, adorable location that makes money hand over fist. I had one other business that I closed–retail. Wrong place at the wrong time […]

The Struggle of Minions. It’s Real.
Three summers ago my tiniest Minion sort of lost her edge. At age 6-7 she completely fell apart. The weird thing was how by surprise it hit us. I have a degree and experience in social work. I’ve worked with children for over 20 years. Her dad is a teacher. […]
