The Journal: Welcome

In today’s Journal

* Welcome
* The Numbers

Welcome to our new friend Yakov and any others who have subscribed or started reading the Journal in recent days. If I can do anything to help with your writing, feel free to email me at harveystanbrough@gmail.com. Now and then I miss a day posting, Yakov, as I almost did today, when I have nothing to pass along.

Nothing else today but I wanted to get “Of Interest” out to you. Just writing. Yesterday I officially went over 100,000 words for the month.

Oops. I screwed up and forgot to add a title. So I’m re-sending this.

Talk with you again soon.

Of Interest

See “One Writer’s Unusual Path to Six Figures” at https://www.thepassivevoice.com/one-writers-unusual-path-to-six-figures/.

See “Titles and Comp Titles — How To Find the Best Ones For Your Book” at https://www.thepassivevoice.com/titles-and-comp-titles-how-to-find-the-best-ones-for-your-book/. Witness my recent re-thinking and losing a day to writing to retitle my books. Giving this more thought up front would have been better.
