Gumroad has published a guide for self publishing. Who isn’t interested in self publishing in 2015? If you publish your own writing of any sort online, there’s a good chance that you’ve entertained the idea of putting out a book. This guide from the Gumroad team covers formats, then the tools that you can use to produce your book. Sadly, the list is a little lacking. Many writing apps today, such as Ulysses [https://chrisbowler.com/journal/ulysses], do a nice job of preparing your content for…

My family travelled out of town for 2 weeks in February. I had the pleasure of working for the entire time from the great cowork space at the Kamloops Innovation Center [http://kamloopsinnovation.ca]. A small incubator space, the KIC is filled with small startups and agencies. The director asked if I was open for giving a presentation, a short talk telling my story. I was happy to oblige. My talk focused mostly on how we all have a story tell, whether you're selling a product or a service. But…

This is exactly what drew me to the world of blogging. Personal sites where a writer takes extra care to craft a welcoming envi…
It’s been exactly one year since I stopped writing my weekly newsletter, The Weekly Review. This time last year, I was neck deep in a new job that required far more than 40 hours per week. Writing a 1,500–2,000 word newsletter each and every week was not something I could sustain when my early mornings required catch up time from the day previous. This was a really hard move for me. I’ve loved writing since I started my first blog in 2008. But there was something special about the weekly routi…
Ulysses from Soulmen seems to be a perfect mix of a great writing and document management environment.
It's been just over a year since I added a support page to this site and made it possible for readers to become members. In return, members would receive updates on my personal projects and the site newsletter. It's pretty typical of site memberships — nothing radical. Why earn anything at all off writing?
