   I personally use google calendar. Put all the important meeting on there, and share it with people you want to try and meet up with. Helps when planning things out to physically see the hours you are and are not free.

     Do you remember to schedule in time every day to update your calendar?! Thanks for commenting!

   Boy, is this ever true. And worse, ever since I started publishing, the marketing piece has eaten into my actual writing. Oh no!

     I often wonder how I will be able to add the publishing/marketing component to the mix when I’m ready. I wonder how many days per week/how many hours per day authors prefer to work on marketing… How do you handle the balance, Joe?

   I like the pie graph, but where is the allotted time for making cupcakes? The time for making cupcakes is not being given enough priority according to this pie graph!
