This week I’m working on a mega post about the 7 habits writers need to become bestselling authors, and as you can see, Pepper is very excited for MOAR CONTENT:

But I also wanted to pop in and say that registration for Kelly’s Sticky Blogging class is finally open!

Kelly only opens her class to new students a few times a year, so I always get excited when Sticky Blogging season comes around. As I wrote about here, I learned a TON in her class (and that’s after nearly a decade of paid copywriting jobs), and her method for making more income from fewer posts is so refreshing and destressing in our content-drowned world.

So instead of drowning you in my own blabber (that comes next week in my 2,000+ word post!), I’m just going to encourage you to take a peek at Kelly’s class and see if it feels like the next self-education adventure you want to go on.

And of course, if you have questions about the class, just leave a comment, and I’ll tell ya every last thing I know!

5 quick reads for the week

1. This question really touched me, and it also made me immediately go out and buy a hammock.
2. What to post on social media when you have nothing to say. (This is me, all the time).
3. This is one thing I did post about on social media this week, because I loved it so much.
4. A super fun short film that will hit you in your reader-bone.
5. And just in case you’re in a reading rut…

What we’re eating this week

Okay. Here’s what happened. I planned a nice meal plan for the week. Two new recipes from Bon Appetit; two easy go-to dinners; one night out. Then KABOOM. (That’s the life bomb going off.) There’s too much going on, and the meal plan was stressing me to pieces. So I deleted it from my phone.

So here, shamefully, is my honest and tragic accounting of how things go down when you go off script:

Sunday: So much Sunday motivation! We made pulled venison tacos and margaritas and had some friends over for Cinco de Mayo. (“It’s going to be a great week,” she thought to herself.)

Monday: Omg, zero motivation. Out to eat.

Tuesday: Off to my neighborhood book club, where mercifully, others cook for me.

Wednesday: Leftovers. (“This is a real crap week,” she muttered.)

Thursday: Getting my life together and making this to bring to my best friend who just had a baby. Apparently I can only get it together to cook if it’s for someone else?

Friday: Out to eat because I am EXHAUSTED. (“Thank God the week is over,” she shouted a little too loudly.)

Cheers!
