As a writer, juggling multiple tasks is part of the game. From brainstorming ideas to engaging with my community, there's a lot on my plate. That's where Basecamp comes in. This all-in-one tool has become my go-to for managing my writer's business. Here's why. All-in-One Platform Basecamp is like a Swiss Army knife for project management. It has chat, to-do lists, message boards, and document storage, all in one place. No switching between apps. Everything I need is just a click away. This saves me time and keeps me organized. I'm a part of IASFA, and right now we use Discord to collaborate on newsletters. But I don't use Discord for much else, so I have to remember to open it to see what is going on. Basecamp emails interactions by default (you can turn that off), so you don't have to go to the application to know what is going on. You can respond via email and the app updates your response on platform, meaning you can work almost completely by email. I have a landing zone for my business, so that the major website I use (e.g., KDP) are a mouse click away. I don't have to worry about losing bookmarks. Community Engagement One standout feature is the ability to create a space where I can bring in my insider fans for a more intimate conversation. This is a game-changer. Unlike social media or newsletters, where interactions can be shallow and noisy, Basecamp allows for deeper engagement. I can share updates, get feedback, and even co-create content with my community. I use Basecamp for my hobbies, and with my family. Yep, we have projects, chats and other things...

Hello, everyone! If you’ve been following my journey, you know that I hit the pause button on my writing for about six months. It wasn’t an easy decision, but sometimes life throws curveballs that you just can’t ignore. Between work, family, and programming Verkilo, my plate was full. But guess what? I’m back, and I couldn’t be more excited to pick up where I left off. First off, let’s talk about why I took a break. It wasn’t a loss of passion or a creative block. Far from it. Life just got busy. Real busy. Work ramped up, family needed attention, and other commitments couldn’t be pushed aside. It was a time for me to pause, pivot, and problem-solve, just like my last post mentioned. And you know what? The break was good for me. It gave me time to recharge and refocus. During my time off, I did some soul-searching. I asked myself what I wanted to achieve with my writing. The answer? To continue creating worlds that you, my readers, can get lost in. But I also realized that balance is key. I can’t ignore the other parts of my life that need attention. So, I’ve made some changes to my routine to ensure that I can juggle everything effectively. I’ve hit the ground running this week, diving back into my ongoing project. I revisited my draft of Ameliorate, outlined new ideas, and even tinkering with how I might connect with fellow authors. There’s a lot in the pipeline, and I can’t wait to share it with you all. Let’s just say I have a lot of writing to get done, and not a lot of time to...
