Kindle Contest Update

| writing | blogging |

So the weekend is upon us, and I would like to start off my saying happy friday to all. There has been a lot more traffic to this blog since I began this contest, and hopefully I will be able to retain some of these visitors.

To all of my faithful readers (all three of you :p) Thank you for your continued support, and to all of the people that just happen to stumble upon this blog. Welcome! I hope you will stick around for a while.

So far the Kindle contest is up and running, the stakes have been raised so now there are three total prizes, and the buzz is still spreading around. I have only received one entry so far, and I am anxiously awaiting more! So this weekend is the perfect opportunity for you to give this a shot, give me your best short story, and be in the running for a Kindle Wifi!

Remember, all submissions are due by Nov 1. After that the voting will begin.

Spread the word, lets get some great stories on here that we can all enjoy together.

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Generated and suppressed demand.

Eight years ago, I wrote about my theory of restoring struggling teams, which came down to four steps: A team is falling behind if each week their backlog is longer than the week before. Solve by hiring more. A team is treading water if they’re able to get...
