WRITING THE PERFECT BLOG POST: A FORMULA THAT WORKS 7. Your bio. If you get to include a bio at the bottom of your post, use it to your advantage! Write a short (two sentences is optimal), concise bio with one or two links to whatever you want to promote — your blog, Twitter profile, etc. More than two links HOW TO TELL BETWEEN GOOD FEAR & BAD FEAR Good Fear, the kind that you should listen to when it screams RUN! often feels oh-so-similar to Bad Fear, which you have to ignore anytime you leap outside your comfort zone.

So from the beginning, I’ve asked myself: What makes my book unique? Travelogues written by women voyaging alone have become so popular, they’re practically their own genre (Think: BEGINNING-OF-CHAPTER QUOTES: TRITE OR AWESOME? Beginning-of-Chapter Quotes: Trite or Awesome? July 30, 2009. I like quotes. Snippets of life, perfectly succinct. Maybe that’s part of the reason I love journalism, for the vital role quotes play in my stories. But I’m torn over whether to use quotes in my memoir.

2020 WAS THE YEAR THAT REVEALED ALL TRUTHS. HERE ARE MINE. 2020 Was the Year That Revealed All Truths. Here Are Mine. April 7, 2021. Near the end of 2020, a friend referred to it as, “the year that revealed all truths.”. So many of those truths were brutal. Hundreds of thousands of Americas died in a pandemic, millions died worldwide. We (finally) had a national reckoning with racialinjustice.

I’m a builder.
A builder of companies, of people, of content, and of profit. My sweet spot is the intersection of content and business. I recently sold The Write Life, a brand for writers I’d grown as a side business for eight years. Now I’m exploring what to build next. From 2015-2019, I served as EVP of Content at The Penny Hoarder, a personal finance media company. I joined as the third employee after my content agency was acquired.
While I enjoy the challenge of growing bootstrapped companies from the ground up, I’m in a phase of my life where I actively avoid hustle culture. I do my best thinking while hiking near my home in WestVirginia.
I’m playing with two passion projects: Retreat & Create , a getaway for creators who want space to think, and Harpers Ferry Trails , an app guide to hikes and restaurants in my town. I process by writing; you can access those insights by subscribing tomy newsletter .
