I’ve been pretty quiet as far as the internet is concerned this week… because I’m on vacation! Each year my family gathers at a massive VRBO rental on a lake in Northern Wisconsin. We spend a week in the water and sun, skiing and golfing, talking and eating (so much eating) and having the most fantastic time with some of our favorite people on the planet.

So because I am doing all of these things, I am not writing anything new. But never fear! The benefit of keeping a weekly blog going for over 4 years is that I have lots of content to unearth and share with you. Some you may not have even read before!

If you are looking for a quick fiction read, check out this three part short story, The Bedrock of Truth, that includes a bunch of my favorite things… a story about a writer, a mystery and the color green.
Do you want to be a writer, but are feeling overwhelmed… check out this article: Stop Drinking Through the Fire Hose.
If you are needing a little motivation, check out this post, My Dream 100, for a great (and fun!) strategy for making progress on your goals.
If you find yourself needing to make a poster, flyer, post card, tshirt design, social media post or pretty looking powerpoint presentation, check out this post on how to easily make great graphics.

If none of these sound appealing, head over to the Blog Buffet (aka: the finest dining establishment in WordNerdopolis) and browse the menu (aka: Blog Archive).

Affiliate marketing is promoting a product or service in return for a commission. When you purchase a product or service through one of my links, I earn a small part of the sale. There is NEVER any extra cost to you. If you looked up the same product on the same site through another source besides my website, the price will still be exactly the same. 100% of the time.

I also NEVER link to products or services that I don't 100% believe in. I will never tout a company or their goods if they are disreputable or if I don't believe them to be worthy of your hard-earned money. In no way are my affiliate links a scam.
