Today Is A Special Day For Someone, What’s Your Day Like

July 12, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Coaches have had a grand time reminding their athletes that, “There’s someone somewhere training just as hard as you. Time to step it up.” They say this right after you’ve had a special day of success so you won’t let it go to your head too fast. Or, “Someone is training harder […]

MEMOIR BLOGGER TALKS TO WRITER, GETS LOST

July 7, 2018 by David Gillaspie

What’s the difference between successful books and the others? Books that get read and those that just get bought? Empathy. Do you feel it? Does the writer make you feel it? Empathy and suspense, enough suspense to turn the page. I met a writer, which is who I’d expect meet in a writers […]

BLOG TRAFFIC: CLICK THROUGH READER CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION

June 25, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Does blog traffic show up unexpected? What makes readers stay and look around once they do find you on accident? First, it’s not an accident. At least blog traffic shouldn’t be accidental. That’s why we buy and install Genesis framework on a wordpress platform with a News theme from Studio Press. […]

AR15 PURCHASE QUESTIONS THAT NEED ASKING

April 9, 2018 by David Gillaspie

The Washington Post ran an nice piece about a guy buying his first AR15. He’d wanted one for years and finally the day came. Money, motivation, and gun show all came together for him. The WaPo research seems pretty good, even with a tag of fake news thrown around. The […]

GUN TALK THE WRONG WAY … AGAIN

March 14, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Raw Story posted a gun column about white men and guns. It was the sort of gun talk white men with guns shouldn’t identify with. “White men stockpile guns because they’re scared of black people and feel inadequate, science says.” That’s the rawstory title. It’s raw, but even more, it’s lazy, but a site called […]

Smart Boston Loves Boomerpdx Portland But It’s Not Enough

October 7, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Smart Boston got it’s name by being smart. No news there, not when the Wall Street Journal and Times Higher Education list of top colleges came out Wednesday, September 27th, 2017. Do we all agree that the WSJ/THE poll helps smart Boston? With two of the top three colleges in town, there’s […]

Blog Relaunch Shoots Blanks, Misses Writing Target

September 1, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Thinking of starting a blog, relaunching a blog? Good. If you’re a writer, then I’m talking to you. Whether you dabble with words, put a few things on paper, or carve out time to organize the book you’ve been writing the past few years, it’s you. The world of bloggers, columnists, […]

A PERSONAL BLOG FOR PUBLIC TIMES

August 14, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Personal blog speaks to the heart, not the wallet. I see this on blogs all the time, maybe you do too. “LEARN TO SELL, ADVERTISE.” “LEARN TO ATTRACT MORE TRAFFIC.” “LEARN TO CREATE CLASSES TO TEACH OTHERS TO SELL AND ADVERTISE AND ATTRACT MORE TRAFFIC.” It’s all good, but doesn’t it sound like it […]

STATES ON THE PODIUM FOR AN OREGON BLOG ABOUT NOTHING

May 2, 2017 by David Gillaspie

These states read a blog about nothing. Is yours on it? The biggest problem with people coming to America is they show up without a good grip on their new place. How can anyone expect immigrants and refugees to know American states? Some of them come running for their lives. They’ve been on the track […]

MAKING SENSE TO UNRELATED MILLENNIALS

March 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

If you can talk to your kids, will unrelated millennials listen too? You could tell he was a good guy with good manners. He answered easy questions, but still added value. Twenty four, lives at home, looking for a job. And all you asked was his age? This is part of the millennial […]
