In case you haven’t guessed, I have a tendency to habit of read Seth Godin’s blog every day. Every morning, actually.
The following are what I’ve taken away from each lesson blog post. They are my own impressions, and my own personal perspective. For my previous posts on the subject, click here.

About ‘Which problem are we solving?”
The point of any business is to solve someone else’s problem. In my opinion, that even applies to fiction writing.
