Some of the fans here may remember me entering a rough patch with my health a year ago.  As June's nightmare eventually began to sort of settle down by August, I was left asking God what I was supposed to be doing while I rested.  The only response I received was "write".  That response would birth my latest book "Dressed for Eternity", but also see me get my feet wet with freelance writing. 

This year, I can tell you that I am healing up, can still overdo things so still need some sort of restful employment to pay the bills.  I'm still doing techsupport here and there, still doing soundtech here and there, but rounding it out now with two freelance writing sites, one of which has spun off one client so far.  I have another book in the works now, "A Year in Prayer with Jesus", and just this past week, I launched my e-course for "Practical Thoughts on Becoming an Author".

I was doing math yesterday when I realized that at just $15 for the e-course, if I was to get 5 sign-ups every single day, I'd have my income largely looked after just with that!  However, 5 daily sign-ups requires some serious word-of-mouth viral behaviour!  This is something I can't generate all by myself.  I have one person taking the course right now, so far without any glitches that I can tell, and none have been reported to me.

I need a group of people to help me get word out as wide and far among prospective writers as possible!  I've created a static page introducing the course on my website, as well as have now created a slideshare presentation that I linked to on 12 classified ad sites today.

This is the write-up I am sharing via classified ads:
