Nice guys DO NOT finish last


Gratitude goes a long, long way in the nice equation. You can be satisfied anywhere along the path of life. It doesn't mean that you are complacent. It means that you are grateful for where you are ... AND you are pursuing more/better/different. More money, better relationships, different business ... always striving to improve and move forward. That's nice.


Nice guys do not finish last. 

Actually, nice guys finish first with a ton of cheerleaders celebrating with you. Nice gets it done. Nice moves you forward with gusto. Nice keeps you in a place of integrity with yourself. Nice enrolls people to help you accomplish your goals. Nice keeps you moving in the direction of your purpose. Nice smooths the path for you. Greases the wheel. Levels the playing field. Keeps you smiling.

Nice is a four letter word to some people. There is a nasty rumor that nice is just another word for doormat. Nice in no way means that you are leaving yourself open to being used or abused ~ it is simply a way to stay in your own integrity and take care of yourself … first! This book explores and expands on the idea that staying in the nice zone is the most beneficial thing you can do for yourself and your life.

This is not a dress rehearsal. As the lyrics from "Breathe" by Anna Nalick so beautifully expresses, "life's like an hourglass, glued to the table." This is your shot. It goes by too fast to waste time. You have things to do! Big things.

Moving forward is the only thing that matters. You know that's true. You also know it's true that if you are not moving forward, you are moving backward. There is no stable ground … no sitting in a comfort zone and just hanging out. If you are not growing, you are decaying.

Being nice truly does provide a valuable assist to actually moving forward and getting what it is you want out of this life.

This book will get you on the path.

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories. For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing. Some writers are unable to start a story unless they have a great title lined up. Then, with that title in mind, they set out to write, only to change the title once they see where the plot and characters lead them. Some authors cannot title a story till it’s written and rewritten for the umpteenth time. Then they decide. Whatever your preference, titles are just as important as the overall story itself...

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, ...
