I don’t think anyone cares anymore. Just has to be good.
Does anyone still care who published a book?
Self-publishing used to carry a stigma. Now big names crowdfund their own editions, and readers mostly want a good story.
Still feel that stigma, or is it gone?

Do you put a first chapter in front of strangers for free, or keep the sample behind a paywall until the rest of the book can stand with it?

Notes in one place. Pages in another. A reader feels that split when a place name has no weight on the page.
In Storybook: Master Novelist, tap a highlighted name and the card opens beside the page. Codex and prose share one studio.

What’s the point of winning if you get to the finish line and there’s nobody there to cheer you on.
Choose kindness in all you do. It’s all we have.

Six years ago I got sober.
Don’t drink, get sober.
Life is so much cooler that way.
More energy for building stuff, better relationships, stronger work ethic.
Just be sober.

I’m all for capitalism. I own several businesses and I want to make a lot of money. But there’s a form of capitalism that has gotten out of hand. The kind of capitalism that stopped building for consumers and great products, and started building for profit only.
The only way to fix this is for founders to build products how they want to consume products.

I run a landscaping company with my brothers, a dance studio with my wife, I just closed a bookstore after two years or operating, I freelance produce videos, I have a YouTube channel about writing, and just launched my first app for writers on the App Store. All of this after leaving a career as a Production Director for churches after 15 years.
Stop thinking about it so much, just build stuff.

You need to love yourself. When people say negative things, I don't believe them. I know who the fuck I am.
