I spent six hours today recording the audio version of my new book Dug Down Deep. We got to page 85 today. Next week we have two more days scheduled to finish the book.

I wore these massive headphones that made me look like Princess Leia in the first Star Wars movie. I also had to wear sweatpants so my clothes wouldn't make a lot of rustling noises. The microphone is very sensitive and picks up everything.

You can pre-order the book here.

Dude

I "normally don't bust peoples chops but this is just way too easy.

A few weeks back you wore a shirt that reminded me of one of the Led Zepplin outfits.

Now you are concerned you look like Princess Leia????

Are you from the land of ice and snow?

Writing Tip: Kitchen Timer

My friend Donald Miller shares a helpful tip for writers: get a kitchen timer. Don explains, "When I have two or three writing assignments I just make a list, then pick one, then set my little timer for an hour or twenty minutes or whatever amount of time that specific assignment will cost me. And then, while the timer is ticking away on my desk, I don't let myself do anything else....When the timer goes off, I decide whether I want to keep working on it, or move on. It's a simple tool, but it works." Read more.
