Starting an Online Community

Hi everyone. Well, I’ve been thinking for some time about how to create a space for people together, for people to get together outside of Facebook because I don’t like Facebook and I’m looking for alternatives. And I found one that I think might be nice to use, a place where writers could get together and share ideas about marketing or self-publishing or post their courses, things like that. A place where you can be visible with other authors.

It’s rare that it’s obvious when to lead. Sure, there are times when you know you need to stand up, take a position, spread an idea, clear out an obstacle, and be brave. But more often than not, great leadership happens when the tribe at least expects it. The non-obvious moments are the ones that count. Like now perhaps.

Then an interesting one about Wikipedia in here. I thought that was interesting. A possibility of risk.

My Book Review of ‘Tribes’

03/12/2024 by Debbi

Hi. Yes, me again. Trying to sit up straight again. Hopefully that … there. Okay, I’m trying.

Today I’m reviewing Tribes. Let’s see, Tribes. Yes, I did this so much better on the first take. Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin. I’m doing two takes of this because I don’t know how I’m going to feel about the first take a week or two from now.

My Own Self-Publishing Journey — Part Four

01/24/2023 by Debbi

Well, this is something I’ve had to work up to talking about. There is so much conflicting information out there about self-publishing that it’s not even funny.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
