February 1, 2021 – Antivirus, Self Publishers, and Where Did the Time Go?

Where does the time go?

Sheesh. Can you believe January is already over? I can't. It flew by, but then again, so did last year.

In fact, it feels like with each year that passes, the next one passes by even faster. It's like the Earth is spinning out of control and pretty soon, we'll spin out of orbit.

That could be BAD.

LOL

But hey, maybe that will kill this damned virus. I'm DONE with this pandemic. But it ain't done with us. We don't have enough vaccines to go around…and now, the variants are beginning to proliferate. Like we needed that.

Antivirus

Speaking of viruses, what do you use nowadays for antivirus? I used to pay for Norton (back in the day), then McAfee, then Trend, then ZoneAlarm…the list goes on.

Now, I just use the built in and free Microsoft Defender. It's good enough.

Got anything better? Let me know in the comments.

Self Publishers?

Any self publishers in the house? Heck, you could even be a real, live publisher with an agent and book deals. Want to share your experiences, skills, wisdom? Join my new Facebook group here.

What's the point of it? Frankly, I'm not sure yet. The idea is to share our collective knowledge within the group and see what happens.

I'm currently building out a book series that will be semi-factual under a pen name 😛

We'll see how that goes! If you want to get in on the ground floor of something (and this is something, right?), then join at the link above.

Happy Monday!

Well, that's about it for today. Let me know what you want to hear about in the comments. Take care and make it a great day!

Put All Your Eggs in One Basket!

But not just ANY basket. You may have noticed that Facebook was down for a L – O – N – G time today. So was Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp (all Facebook apps, or “crapps,” as I call them – LOL). To most of the world, this would bother them. It certainly bothered some heavy FB advertising folks. I suspect the real loss today was in the billions. FB stock lost about $50 billion in market cap. OUCH. But the real question is this: Did it affect you? Did it affect your business? If it did, is there anything you can do to mitigate future losses? The answer is a resounding “YES!”  I've harped on this and at you for over a DECADE now – OWN your own real estate. Don't be a sharecropper. When you run your business on another company's platform, their demise could be yours as well. Plus, they can kick you off their platform at any time for any reason. Just ask former President Trump. (Not to be political, but FB and YouTube kicked him off their plat...

December 22, 2020 (The Thing About Habits)

Whelp! I missed writing yesterday. *They say* that in order to make a thing a habit, you must do it 21 times consistently. I don't know if 21 is the right number. Why not 20? 23? 37? 3? What I do know is two isn't the magic number for creating a sustainable habit. So this is my third daily writing out of four (I don't write on weekends). Time to refocus, keep my eye on the prize, and keep pushing. On Starting a Podcast A thing I'd like to do in 2021 is a podcast. I wrote about this last time. I'm still pondering it. What would people like to see? I've listened to dozens, maybe hundreds of podcasts, and many are just dandy. They've found their product. I've yet to find mine. What about you? How's the weather? It snowed last night. We got about a 1/1000th of an inch. But the kids were giddy. And that's good enough for now. I've always wanted to get one of those “ weather machines .” They fascinate me. In fa...
