If you’re reading this, I’m assuming you already have some goals: fitness goals, goals for your family, maybe even a goal of writing a book or to become a better writer.

But how do you write goals that actually work, that actually help you accomplish the things that you set out to do?

No matter what your goals are, I believe this process will help you get clear on what you want to accomplish this year.

ScribeShadow Review: My Honest Experience Using AI to Translate My Book

by Jamie Biggs | 0 Comments

I’ve been thinking about translating my books for a long time. The idea of reaching readers in other countries is exciting, but the cost of hiring a human translator is… a lot.

I tested it using the free credits they give you when you create an account, and here’s exactly how it went.

In this post, we’re going to look closely the most popular alternative to Microsoft Word: Scrivener, and talk about where each word processor shines and where each falls short.
