Waiting for the Perfect Moment
Everyone’s waiting for the right time for something. The right time to quit their job, the right time to ask her out, the right time to travel, or the right time to start a new project. In a little over a week I leave Austin until June. I have a LOT to do. More than…

My First TV Interview!
I had the foresight to go to bed early last night so that I’d be well rested for my interview. Then I stayed up until about five am tossing and turning, imagining her questions, and answering them. “Well, Jenny…” When my alarm went off at 8 I bolted up. I drank some delicious acerola cherry…

Outliers
I just finished Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers. I always like reading Gladwell’s books, but mainly as entertainment. It’s that sort of smart writing that makes you feel like you’re learning something important, even though the main purpose of the book is for entertainment.

I’ve finally finished making Make Her Chase You into a paperback. I’ve been selling it as an ebook for the past year and a half or so and refining it and adding to it. After one last edit I finally felt like it was good enough to be put into a permanent format. I also…

So, a few days ago I decided to drop everything and focus on Life Nomadic. I’ve done the focusing, now it’s time to do the dropping. I’m hoping that some or all of my businesses can be taken over by readers. As I’ve met readers over the years I’ve been really impressed with most of…

Bobby Needs Us Again
Remember a month or two ago when Bobby and his converted bus were in the contest and we all voted? Well, as you probably know, he won. We were the force that pushed him over the edge, and he was very thankful for our help. This week is the finals, which determines who actually wins…

The Dip, and How to Figure Out What to Do With Your Life
On the second day that I was visiting her in Toronto, Annie brought back a pile of books from the library. On the top was a tiny book with a cover so simple that it looked like it might be a children’s book about potty training. Then I read the subheader. “A little book that…

The Truth about Project Hollywood
The other day in a moment of distraction I went onto YouTube and watched an old video of Mystery and me. I scrolled down to the comments, which I’m sure the authors never expect the subjects of the video to read. There are, of course, tons of haters bashing all of us. In one clip…
