I’m a firm believer of the power of  words—written words, spoken words, even those thoughts running around in my head.

One of the beauties of being on Twitter, is there are lots of tweeple (people) spreading good words. I like that.

Discovered this video this morning from Warren Whitlock, who shares good words. He said he had a lump in his throat, I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

Enjoy as you watch this short, yet impactful video.

What is your personal signature?

Aloha,

I’ve been encouraging people I meet and authors I work with to start blogging. To tell their story, to talk about their book, to share their wisdom and their passion. When recently asked about my blog, all I could say was, “Umm, err, umm, well. . . , it’s currently in the process of being built.”

Alrighty then, nothing like a bit of red face to move me forward.

To backtrack just a bit. . .  I interviewed John Kremer and Warren Whitlock about book marketing. Both talked about marketing your book online, whether you self-publish or go with a traditional publisher.

In this day and age, having a presence on the world wide web is necessary and a way of life. Whether you are a book author, a book publisher, a writer, a business person, etc. Yes, that means a website, a blog, and Twitter.

Twitter? What in the world is that?

So I took a day or two (OK more like a week) to explore and learn about Twitter. What I discovered is a true phenomenon. (Will have posts devoted to it later.) In just one short month, I’ve met and connected with some great people all over the world. And found that I enjoy posting “tweets” about all sorts of topics. Twitter is fabulous. . .  and sometime I just want to say more than 140 characters.

So welcome to this blog!

Here you will find my thoughts, opinions, and wisdom on various subjects which interest me. Topics will include (tho not limited to); how to publish your own book, the book creation process, self publishing your book, living in Hawaii, my point of view of life (at 54 yo), and anything else I’m inspired to chat about.

Until next time — “What are the possibilities? Focus there!”
