FailureAndSuccess

Today’s blog post is on Shawn Smucker’s blog (a fantastically insightful blogger, by the way). Be sure to pop on over.

Here’s a preview:

I don’t know. Really. I have no idea. But I suspect it’s not as glamorous as we up-lookers think.

 

I think sometimes the problem is that we see those who’ve “made it” (whatever that means) and assume there’s something inherently different about them–that they’ve got something we don’t have, that the pixie dust fell on them and blew off into the atmosphere before it could land on us.

Howdy. This isn’t yer standard blog post. More of a series of announcements. So, here we go…

  1. Next week is “ghost week.” I’m teaming up with Granny Sue, a professional storyteller and blogger (who is totally awesome, by the way) for this one. I’ve written a fun little ghost story that will be hosted on her blog and she’ll be writing one for my blog–southern folklore style. More on that next week.I can’t wait 😉
  2. This week’s traditional blog post will take place on Erik Tyler’s blog. More details will come tomorrow. In the mean time, feel free to peruse Erik’s blog. He’s really a stellar individual and has written a fantastic book that will change your life. (It even comes highly recommended from a top-notch Google big-wig). I guarantee, after you’ve spent a few minutes perusing this guy’s blog (or book), you’ll feel like he’s the BFF you’ve never had and the sort of guy you’d love to spend an hour with at a coffee shop.

Other than that, I’ve got some other exciting things down the road, including maybe another novella featuring another stellar individual, the audiobook version of Love the Unloved, and a video with some hired talent. Read more »
