I was going to write a post here today, but after spending the better part of my train ride to Portland reding Steven Pressfield’s Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life’s Work1, I decided to get back to my book instead. It’s an excellent read, and it is a fairly short one. […]
As some of you may be aware, I’m giving a keynote talk on Saturday at this year’s WordCamp Victoria. It’s not going to be about productivity or the like (Rebecca Bolwitt has that covered; totally stoked to see her speak again), but on the benefits of WordPress as a whole for online writers of all
