Writing Journal

Journal

I often write about things that are relatable to writing but don’t really fit any one of my primary categories. As a result, I use the Journal category to share those bits of information. Especially if it’s about a topic that can fit virtually anywhere.

Not to mention that sometimes I’ll just write about what’s on my mind regarding books, blogs, and freelancing.

For example, here are the most recent posts I’ve published in the Journal category:

  • Did I Finally Fix the YouTube Problem for WordPress?
    I often integrate YouTube videos with the blog posts. That way, visitors can either read or watch the content covering certain topics. However, I stopped getting credit from YouTube for views and watch time from the blog. Did I finally fix this problem?
  • Self-Imposed Chaos: I Need Some F’n Zen
    My life is anything but ordinary. Since becoming a full-time writer in 2013, I’ve had to deal with an inordinate amount of chaos. However, a large portion of it is my own doing. So, why do I subject myself to stress?

    Becoming a successful writer is a bit of a process. For most of us, it’s something that isn’t going to happen overnight. So, what can you do to push yourself to reach those goals and aspirations of success?
