I’ve been thinking more about structuring MikeWriting.com as an author hub. I’m really bought into the idea of releasing my first book for free. I don’t mean the collection of short stories. I mean book 2 — I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned book 2. Book 2 is about the myth of “original ideas”. It’s…

I’m reading a really good book. I’d been reading one fiction and one nonfiction simultaneously. But I’m giving this title my full attention. Making the best use of time is not in my wheelhouse. I had The 4 Hour Work Week a few months before I began reading. After I started the audiobook on Audible,…
