I just came across a social media platform (yes, another one!) called Substack. It seen like it may work well for writers. I even created a profile in there. Is there anyone here with a profile there? Feedback is appreciated. https://substack.com/@itsrogerm

In connection to AI and writing, I saw this article in the Wall Street Journal. I’m not sure the link will work, but if you’re serious about writing, try to find a way to read it. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/ai-and-the-english-language-274f9801?st=wEBPKo

HAPPY 250th America!! 🇺🇲 By request ... I am going to prep a video on how to assess whether a book award is worth your time/effort/money. When I do that video ... what other things would you like me to cover beyond what is in this video?

If you are on Goodreads, I would love your support by start following me on the platform. I am happy to return the favor. Let's support each other. Thank you goodreads.com/rogermagalhaes

I asked a few people to read my book ARC and the feedback I am getting is very humbling and encouraging. I swear to God, I had no idea my words would create such comments. Just wanted to share them here with my book peers. This is VERY exciting... ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Finished the book this past week and it left me wanting more. God obviously gave you a gift and it’s good to see that you have discovered it. I truly believe god gives us all one gift, the key is to figure out what that gift is. In your case writing and storytelling seams to come easy so enjoy the path god has laid out for you. Best of luck with the book!" "Roger is a model of inspiration and wisdom. Anyone wanting to improve their business and their lives needs to read this book." "What you've done is what most don’t dare to do. You turned the honest, unfiltered version of building a business into a teaching tool. The story about the plumber and the muddy footprints will resonate with every dealer, installer, and workroom owner who's ever lost a client and couldn't figure out why. Not because it's dramatic, but because it's painfully ordinary, and we've all either been that plumber or hired one. Specifically, about your voice: the choice to write the way you actually talk, the rhythm, the humor, the way a Brazilian-Bostonian sees the world, is not a limitation but the whole point. The foreword says it, your introduction says it, and then the book proves it chapter after chapter. Your readers aren't connecting with you despite your voice. They're connecting because of it." "As I read through, it was like reading every one of your newsletters I’ve enjoyed over the years. I found myself nodding in agreement, laughing out loud, sometimes tearing up, and even a few “oh my Gods” thrown in there. And I didn’t realize congratulations were in order for your very prestigious award! It will be interesting to see how it is received in the business world. Quite honestly, the points you drive home should be used in our WHOLE world, not solely the business world. You are a truly remarkable human being and it’s been an honor to be invited to see this work come to fruition."
