Yes, I have been on hiatus from Inside the Writer’s Mind. Something had to give and it was this blog. But on the bright side, I managed to launch a web business specifically targeted to seminar “junkies”. It is seminarALERT.com and it has the largest collection of personal development and entrepreneur-focused seminars and teleseminars anywhere. There are even a bunch of seminars on writing and publishing. Check it out. I just finished taking an exceptionally good teleseminar called Sell Books By The Truck Load which teaches you how to form corporate and non-profit partnerships to sell a lot of books all at once, rather than one at a time through the more traditional distribution channels.
Putting one endeavor on hold while you pursue another is something you will have to face repeatedly throughout your life. Maybe you want to start a business or maybe you have to take care of a loved one who has gotten sick. Either way, we are constantly forced to choose between what we want to do and what we know we should do. The best part is that my writing hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s still here, right where I left it. I think it is the timelessness of writing that makes it magical. It is timeless to write, and timeless to read. It does not need to be written in any specific time frame nor does it need to be consumed in one either. What have you had to put your writing on hold for? Let me hear from you.
