There’s a huge plus to living in Oklahoma and that is ... the Tulsa World. Every Sunday, there are so many interesting articles, we can hardly get through them. They keep us entertained and reading all during the week, until the next Sunday: Book reviews, author profiles, business articles, all kinds of columns.
One syndicated columnist hubby and I enjoy is Harvey Mackay
. You might remember him for his best selling book, Swim With The Sharks
Without Being Eaten Alive. I have that book at home somewhere; I’ll have to
track it down and revisit. I enjoy reading books like this and applying words of wisdom to my writing life. 
If you want more money, don’t pay attention to the money.
Pay attention to the thing that makes the money.
I’d love for you to read Generosity Breeds Success. Read it now--it's short and I promise, you'll be inspired. You
may even decide to purchase You Gotta Have Balls and learn all about good
customer service. You could come up with an excellent answer to the question: What
else could you be doing for your customer/reader? You could come up with an original plan that would brand you in ways you can't imagine.
I like that Steiner reminds us to focus
on relationships, not transactions. To me, that's the key. I think we should all let relationships, relationships, relationships echo through our brain when we tweet our next tweet!
Have you read Harvey Mackay? Or Brandon Steiner? As writers, how can we improve our customer/reader service? Any ideas?

I don't read much nonfiction outside science or writing books. Too many books, too little time, I guess. Unfortunately my writing ain't making me a lot of money either. :)
You are always an inspiration, Jess. Where do you find the time to find and read all this stuff?
Charles - I agree! Too many books, too little time.
Jan - The Tulsa World. :)
