Someone once told me opportunity won't knock at the door until you build the dang door.

Applied to many of us - we will never be famous (and obviously rich) authors until we write the books and build the marketing platforms. Thus, aside from today being the first day of the new year, it is the first day of my new website! Check it out out here: http://www.douglaslutz.com/

In other news, I have begun a journal. This is one is for me, and it is hand-written to maintain the connection between my thoughts and the page via pen and ink. In addition to at least one gratitude per day, I will be listing the questions, problems, and decisions I will be making as an author trying to officially break into "the business."

Who knows? At the end of the year, I may have enough information to write a how-to book.

But first: coffee. After all, it is 5:35am - on New Years Day.
