I realized that
although I’ve told all my close friends and family, it might not have made it to some of you that Heather and I have a baby on the way! This will be our first, and I am so ready!
God has a way of putting us in the right position at the right time. A year earlier, and Heather’s health or my attitudes would have cause problems. But he has systematically prepared us physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually to welcome this first baby into the world with an awesome sense of excitement and anticipation.
New things are on the horizon all over. God in his timing, yet again. I’ll wait to tell you what’s happening until it’s official, but it seems to be good news for our family and my company.
In case you are wondering, baby is expected in early December. We refuse to name a date because we don’t accept the foolish notion that babies are born exactly nine months from conception every time, and we refuse to allow anyone to freak out if the baby is either “early” or “late”. Our newest family member will be right on time. Guaranteed.
It has become unavoidable that I’m trying to balance too many projects at one time. I can either let some of my blogs lie dormant, or sell them off. I’m considering both options, so if anyone is interested in purchasing a blog, the one I would consider selling right now is ReputationAdvisor.com. I love the blog, but I haven’t had the time to keep it going.
I may decide to keep it and just leave it on the back burner. It all depends on whether the right person comes along with interest.
I also have ReputationManager.com available. I haven’t written there. It’s just sitting there, waiting for me or someone else to make it useful. It is an excellent domain name, however, and not one I would part with easily.
There are some career copywriters out there, who can make some seriously good money after 5-10 years of experience. I’m not throwing out the possibility of copywriting long-term, but it’s not the goal.
Long term, the goal is to write a collection of stories and other topical books that I think are sorely needed.
Copywriting was simply the most strategic career I could think of to hone my writing style and prepare myself for the first book. I’ll post updates on this blog as we move along. I have several ideas for books, and the issue is committing to one idea long enough to put a book together. Or I have to attempt to be a badass like Thomas Acquinas and write half a dozen books at the same time.
No promises on that one.
