Can You Trademark A WORD? Yep! Maybe?

Interesting article here. It's got a few naughty words in it... hey... it's VOX... what can I say? But there's a story there... and a lesson. Sign in to see full entry.

Just thought I would change this up for today. I was having an illicit affair with a woman who was a vacuum saleslady, but I had to break up with her. She was having attachment issues. Sign in to see full entry.

Publisher Rocket

I know I've talked about this here before, but I'm not sure how many in the Blog-It family are currently actively writing for Amazon or a different platform. I bought this tool when it went on sale a few months ago, and I am of the opinion that an active writer needs this tool. I made my money back... Sign in to see full entry.

The Amazon Wars And How I Won Mine

I've been hearing about Amazon getting really cranky lately from the writers in my FreshInkGroup publishing group.

Changing Your Key Word Search Terms

This note is for those posting stories on Amazon or other platforms. If you've published on Amazon lately, you've seen where they want the seven search terms you wish to use to get your book to come up when someone looks for a subject.

Skirting Issues Caused By The Cancel Culture

Food for thought. We believe in Martin Luther King. We don't think your skin color is the most important thing about you. We think all people were created by God, and therefore should be judged by what they do, not by how they look. We say that a lot, and we mean it. - Tucker Carlson 8.18.22 I write...

Help Wanted

If you've read much of anything I've posted in the last five months, you know I've been working heavily on the new Amazon platform, Vella. I try to keep at least two or three stories going across a wide variety of subjects. I've found it takes about two months for a project to pick up steady... Sign in to see full entry.
