Maybe I wasn't clear. I don't think you should "swipe other people's shit". I said you should keep a library of interesting anecdotes and stories, so you can refer to them in your writing. In my experience, this mak

This is it. For example, I have a fact in my swipe file about how when you put a young turtle in a small aquarium, it will only grow to a size that fits the tank. The next time I need to write about personal growth, I'll probably be ab

Thanks. So you think a library of structures rather than a library of stories would be more helpful? That's interesting, nobody's said that before.

You rewrite the story, and credit the source if appropriate.

Author here. Thanks – yes designers in my experience often do this, but clearly not always. The point I'm making is that other creative processes let you start with something to build on. Maybe writing should be that way too.

The testimonials you have up from the Google and P&G employees are from stock photo sites. (I didn't reverse image search the others.) I'd consider fixing this.

I bought your book on Leanpub. Great read, as I recall.

Is there anywhere I find a huge list of all these new weird domains?

by 0898 10y ago
I wanted a domain for a tax industry blog. I really wanted digital.tax, but it was held back as premium. Then, one day I was browsing 123reg and noticed it was available. I quickly looked at other registrars and it was still labeled as eith

Yes, in London Uber is at least a third cheaper – possibly more – than a black cab fare. It's almost too cheap. I would happily pay a little bit more.

The problem people have with this whole 'storytelling' thing is actually finding stories. I wrote a book called Hooked On You that shows you where to get stories from, and how to attach your message to them. It's on Amazon, o
