  -- Quote of the Day --    “You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world…  The world changes according to the way people see it and if you alter, even  by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it.”  ~ James Baldwin -- Brummet's In the Media --    Drop in the blog link below to find today's interview (will go live on July 30th at 5 a.m. Pacific):  http://pennylockwoodehrenkranz.blogspot.ca/2013/07/lillian-brummet-purple-snowflake.html If for some reason that link isn't working for you just head over to the blog's home page and scroll down to find my interview there:  http://pennylockwoodehrenkranz.blogspot.com -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio --  * Airs live ...

  -- Quote of the Day --  “…If you don’t have a marketing plan or a sales plan with all these different aspects that will have some synergy then it is going to be hard to sell. I picked a magazine and wrote an article a month, but then I went to another magazine and wrote an article a month and then I went to a third magazine… so it was a decent amount of work – the difference between writing for three magazine verses once in response and recognition was tremendous, it was night and day – one you got some business, two you got some more, three it exploded. Because you became the dominant face, you were everywhere they looked and you became the go-to person in that industry.” ~ Mark Tewart Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on June 11… titled: Sales & MarketingAdvice   (*Click on the title to access the full discussion) ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “One man scorned and covered with scars  still strove with his last ounce of courage  to reach the unreachable stars;  and the world will be better for this.”  ~ Miquel de Cervantes -- Positive News --  Have you heard of the Hydroinfra technologies yet?

-- Quote of the Day --  “You have to plan ahead. …Christmas in July is a real thing; you have to be writing Christmas articles in July. …I’ve also had it happen where the magazine would contact me and say we aren’t going to publish this piece until the next issue, or the next year. …You have to definitely keep a spreadsheet or calendar – you have to keep track of everything. It is not their job to keep track of that for you. …I know what my kill fees are, because sometimes the publisher decides they have too many or limited space or something and I got bumped. But that is fine because I still have the piece and I know the rights are mine. You need to keep track of your rights as well –if you sign away your First North American Rights then you can’t use that work for the time specified in your contract. And contracts are very important; you need to know what your contract says, what you can use and what you can’t use. If you use one article and yo...
