With thanks to Demian Farnworth over at CopyBlogger.  In his post today, he had the most profound statement of internet usage I’ve ever heard: “They go there to drive 60 miles per hour—and look at billboards.” Now you tell me if that’s not the most accurate description you’ve ever heard.

So in the interest of not causing an accident on the information superhighway, I’ll keep my billboard very succinct today.

Updates

• I’m nothing if not flexible.  Set a goal for posting every day on TM.  Traffic has taken a dive that seems to correlate.  Must be TMI.  Back to 3 a week folks.
• Part 2 of submitting a killer book proposal will be on Friday
• I’ll have three more websites up and running by the weekend – stay tuned

And a gripe

A little off topic, but cathartic no less.

A had to attend a 3 hour training session yesterday.  I was soon reminded why I dread these things.

Here’s why:

• Facilitator delayed start to accommodate a few latecomers.  Cardinal sin.  Do not punish those who made it on time for those too selfish to be prompt.
• Lady across the table immediately slathered her hands with a rose scented skin lotion – had to stifle gags for nearly a half hour.  For the love of God, have some consideration.  Same goes for perfume and cologne!
• Another attendant immediately gripes at the facilitator because his name tag is mis-spelled.  Then proceeds to gripe about the date and time being incorrect.  Please!  Mellow out!  Sheesh.

Finally

I need a little feedback, folks.  What kind of topics do you want to see here.  Remember TM is here to inspire all of you aspiring writers out there.  Let’s hear it!
