On Monday I was a guest on Erika Heald’s #ContentChat. If you missed the chat on goal-setting for bloggers, you can read Erika’s recap.
Remember, post your October Goals on Write On Online and weekly goals on Facebook (a new goal thread starts every Monday) to be entered in a drawing to win a book from Michael Wiese Productions.
If you don’t live in LA – or even if you do – join the Write On Online Facebook Group for writers, creatives, and entrepreneurs to chime in on the threads, share your links, and more. Plus, keep an eye on the Write On Online Facebook Page for my spontaneous videos, designed to help motivate and cheer you on.
