*To Thine Own Brand Be True*

(source)

I know Shakespeare didn’t actually say that, but if he'd lived in the 21^st century, he would've. 

Nowadays everything is about branding: if you run a business or offer any kind of services, you need to have a brand that will make you different, unique. That will make you a professional in your niche. Without a brand, you're naked among all those who have one. It’s a must and a fuss. And you have to nail it, too! Not too vague, or too complex, or too bland. It has to catch the attention and fit in perfectly with your personality, and the business you run.

Welcome to Wherever You Are!

When I Grow Up... Part 2

After I shared my childhood dreams with the blogosphere on Friday, I gathered up some pretty cute pictures from all over the Internet. Now, I do not own those pictures, but I thought they'd make some pretty good stories of dreams gone mad. Let’s see what these kids dreamed about and where that led them.

Meet My Child-Muse

You might recall that I did this collaboration called Meet the Muse where I asked some fellow writers to describe their muses in less than 100 words. And now I think it would be only fair if I did the same but with more words. 

Thing is, I have two muses. I guess it’s only logical for a person with two names (my real and my pseudonym). I don’t know why I always have to make things complicated, but I do. And today I’m going to talk about my child-muse. Soon you’ll get to read about Nereth, who is a shape-shifter, and whom I like to call the Wise River Lady.

But first things first… 

The Six-Words Collection

Hello, fellow tweeps! Yesterday (May 17^th), the news of the 6-word ‘Momoirs’ on the New York Times (http://nyti.ms/iOs14s) took Twitter by storm, so some of us decided to invent our own 6-wordsies on various topics. We pretty much ran wild with it! So, naturally, I couldn’t resist putting them all together. Apart from #sixwords, there’s also #fourwords and #fivewords, and if there were more of me, I’d have included those too.

Hope I didn’t forget anyone! Also, if you have a FAVORITE or would like to CONTRIBUTE more #sixwords, feel free to do so here. Just bear in mind I won’t be checking the channels anymore, because it’s too addictive! So, lo and behold! Counter-alphabetized, THE 6-WORDS COLLECTION.

P.S. Thanks to all contributions and I hope everyone enjoys!
