How To Really Connect To Your Readers

You sit down and look at the blank screen, hoping and praying that this time the perfect combination of words are going to pour forth from your fingertips. You're there for hours, filling your belly with coffee (or tea) and your brain with caffeine. You shift your weight from one side of your buttocks to another, over and over again trying to resist the urge to get up and walk away. You smoke cigarette after...

Why Thermal Binders Instead of Comb Binders?

Thermal Binders vs. Comb Binders– Integrity & Strength Let’s start with the pages themselves. With comb binders, the page’s integrity is compromised by the holes you have to punch.

What to Do About Guilt

I want to paint a picture for you. John Doe comes home from work and confesses to his wife that he’s done something so terrible, so damaging to their relationship, that he’s afraid she’ll never forgive him. And then he tells her what it is. Jane Doe (the wife) is angry. She storms out of the room uttering all sorts of words I couldn’t possibly use in this article. John is left sitting at the kitchen table…wondering what his next... (posted by Eric Engel 6 years 88 days ago.)
