Do you Believe in Afgrican Time?

Today, you will not be stranded.
Wherever you may be feeling inadequate, grace will be made available to you.
To be numbered amongst successful people, there are some habits you must cultivate. These are habits referred to as positive habits or success habits.
How do you feel when you give someone an appointment for a particular time and the person chose to come one or two hours late?
I usually say there is no such thing as African time. You see, people who hide under this guise to go late to events or work cannot be counted among successful people. It is either you are on time or you are late.
For you to take territories this year, you must make successful habits your watch word.
To your success!

Considering Self-Publishing? You Might Want to Do This First

By Chuck Sambuchino on Monday, January 4

Chuck is giving a lucky reader a copy of his new book, Guide to Literary Agents 2016. He’ll pick one commenter on this post at random after two weeks.
You must live within the U.S. or Canada to receive a print book. Otherwise, he can send a PDF ebook to the winner.
There are different ways to get your work published, but the biggest two options in today’s marketplace are still the following:
Traditional publishing: You sell your work to a publishing house, like Simon & Schuster or HarperCollins. The publisher typically pays you money up front in the deal, then distributes the book in print and e-book forms.

Instead of Bugging Your Family and Friends, Try These Writing Critique Groups

If you write fiction, you may know all too well the feeling you get once you finish a chapter, a story, or a first draft.
There’s a compulsion to share, and to hear what others think of this thing you’ve created from your own genius brain. But, it can be a lot to ask of your friends and family, and even the most willing of readers might not have the time to get a critique back to you as quickly as they (or you) would like.
Luckily, there’s a whole host of online resources for writers to share work, and to pay it forward by critiquing the work of others. Some critique communities are even free to join and participate.
However, with the resources below, it’s expected that you give feedback just as often as you seek it. Be prepared to make a time commitment!
