Not every idea needs a book—some are too big for one! If you can name 3–5 subtopics, it’s a book. If you’ve got 12 or more, it’s a series. Simple test, big insight. See the full video in my Substack Live: https://publishingforprofessionals.substack.com/p/from-i-have-a-book-idea-to-published

If people keep asking you the same thing—it’s a book waiting to be written. That’s how my second book began. Watch the full session on Substack Live: https://publishingforprofessionals.substack.com/p/from-i-have-a-book-idea-to-published

So, I'm at a local breakfast place today. There's a bunch of ladies behind me chatting. One of the ladies says, "I found out from a friend that drinking from a straw gives you wrinkles around your mouth." Some people wish for world peace. I wish for world common sense... #commonsense #smarticles

Happy 😃 Newest of Years to my Bluesky Family! Finished my Black Forest Cherry 🍒 Cake 🎂 last night but it was a bit late to eat cake. Here’s a picture of my creation, I was super happy with how it turned out. Will let you know how it tastes 😋 ✈️🗺️ #cake #happynewyear

We are going into even more uncharted waters in 2025, especially with the new admin coming in. Keeping everyone safe is priority, and it doesn’t always involve the police, as we’ve seen too many times. Kaylan’s @kaylan.bsky.social post are resources we all need to keep handy.

100 years ago today, #OTD in 1925, Edwin Hubble announced that Andromeda and other spiral nebulae were definitely separate galaxies outside the Milky Way, in a paper read to an AAS meeting by H.N. Russell. There was no doubt that the Universe was more than just our little island of stars. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️

I absolutely love 😍 the simplistic repetitive actions that are so much fun, yet so predictable

It’s the dawn of a new year, Bluesky friends. Remember, the sun is always there behind even the darkest clouds. We’re going to be okay — after all, we’ve got each other! 💙 ⛅️

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution: Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

“Kennedy is dangerous. His beliefs are fueled by conspiracies and threaten our entire society — but no one more than those of us already dealing with serious illness like I am.” Read this excellent, personal essay from Victoria Brownsworth. epgn.com/2024/12/30/t... Tell your senators to reject RFKjr

I’ve composed my list of actionable items I can implement to move forward and up. So far, I’ve started meditating at night for ten minutes with my new singing bowl I received at Christmas and I’m burning 🔥 a candle at sunset for a half an hour to activate my intentions with fire. #manifesting

Getting ready for the New Year. Here’s my assistant Hemingway, checking on our office supplies! Have a cat 🐱 VA? Post their picture in the reply. What does your cat 🐈 VA do? #catsofbluesky #cat #ghostwriter

Get your 🐈 laser ready for 2025, Bluesky peeps. 🐥 We may need some backup here in America! Love you guys, thanks for making this platform amazing! Happy New Year! 🎆 #speaker #ghostwriter Get your book 📕 checked off in 2025 💙

Wishing all of my friends a happy and healthy New Year. 🥂

Last week I was in the Black Forest 🌳 for Christmas 🎄 Although I didn’t get to play in the snow ❄️ I did get to watch a Black Forest cherry cake decorating. Here’s the recipe. I’m making it gluten free. Post a picture in the reply if you decide to make it for NYE! ✈️🗺️#recipe #glutenfree #newyear

Pictures can say 1000 words, but in the end it’s all about your perspective! #travel #Europe #ghostwriter #publisher

Wow, I never knew he said this. Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

When our leaders made sense, cared about our communities, and went above and beyond to be the example of a good, kind, American. #jimmycarter

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

The year in good news—in 60 seconds… I needed this. Maybe you do too.

A word to the wise: Hate is expensive. The price you have to pay is costly and will affect you in many ways. It takes a lot of energy to hate. Why do that to yourself? 🤔 Consider love. It's fulfilling and brings rewards on its own. The best part, fam? It's free. ❤️

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

Did you know that this enormous Christmas tree is a yearly tradition post WWII? The Norwegians cut down a large tree over 100 feet high from the Black Forest and send it to Strasbourg, France each year as a thank you for freeing their country from the grips of Hitler and his army. Merry Christmas!

Spent Christmas in the Black Forest of Germany. Snow, Santa, and mocha latte with cookies. It was perfect! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
