Building a Platform

I started a blog recently. I've been told it helps to build a platform during the beginning stage of publishing a book. Well, I am definitely in the beginning stage and my platform has a long way to go! Which is why my agent probably recommended the book by Hyatt, 'Building a Platform'...catchy title, yes? It seems like everyone has a book on how to become successful or master the true you in this life :-) I believe if you are doing what you love, you are successful. And mastering the true you? Doesn't that come with age and experience? Okay, I will continue to read the book. I will try to blog more and build a platform. My  blogs at times will be  book updates, random thoughts or a sneak-peek about the characters in my books. I hope you continue to come back to my site and see what's new...maybe even send a question or comment now and then. I'll let you know when I finish my platform!

Daily Inspirations

Every morning, I have a cup of coffee and check my email.  I subscribe to DailyInspirational.com  and it's always the first email I open! Isn't it funny how a great quote or photo puts you in a different 'frame of mind'? Sometimes, I find it serves as a gentle reminder to not 'sweat the small stuff', follow your heart, or to be true to yourself and surround yourself with forward thinkers. Favorite quote for today- 'We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give'. -Winston Churchill
