Steps to Achieve Publication
Posted on November 21, 2015 Leave a Comment
I began with the dream of writing a best selling book. I set a date, and then another date, now it is December 12th.
I took the following steps:
- wrote 1,000 words a day for eight weeks
- completed a manuscript of over 50,000 words
- paid for a developmental edit
- revised and cut the manuscript in half
- gained an accountability partner
- found readers for feedback
- drafted different covers
- edited and re-edited
You can sign up to receive a page from the book and a special pre-publication offer. Click HERE.
YOU CANNOT HOLD SOMETHING DIGITAL

May the images and prayer in this poem for recognition of our oneness give you pause for reflection this week-end.
From Dream to Reality

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal
A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan.
A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true. – Greg S. Reid

The Medical Industry vs Mindfulness
Posted on November 14, 2015 2 Comments
How many times in your life have you gone to a clinic or doctor’s office or hospital? How much of your income is devoted to maintaining your health and your health coverage?
How satisfied have you been with the results of the health care or medical advice you received? All That Is – Beyond the Medical Industry – Vitality Through Mindfulness & Gratitude, my forthcoming book, explores these questions. Mindfulness is a simple, centuries old practice proven to improve health and reduce stress. It just requires a small investment, time. When you take time to sit quietly and breathe deeply – you slow down your heart – you nourish your cells – you calm your nerves – you release healing hormones. If you’re not familiar with mindfulness practice or need a refresher, click HERE for a simple approach to begin. And you’ll be on the list for a special pre-launch book offer.

Looks like Jake is doing a little self-reflection. Where is it going to take him?
An All Alaska Performance
Posted on November 11, 2015 7 Comments
On October 24, 2015, I performed in Animalia, A Wearable Arts Show in Homer, Alaska. When the director, Asia Freeman, invited me to participate, I said, “I’m a storyteller, not a designer.” I found a Raven creation tale that offered a perfect finale. As I worked on the story, I found different versions, so I created my own. The mask, by artist Desiree Hagen, was an added touch.
If you don’t have time to watch the complete show, my performance begins after minute 29, enjoy.

Leaping Into Space – Preparing a Book Launch
Posted on November 5, 2015 6 Comments
Preparing to launch a book is like jumping out of an airplane. Sure, you’ve practiced, studied, and prepared but it still takes your breath away when you take that first leap into space. And that’s what I feel now. Leap with me HERE.
At the beginning of the year, my goal was to complete three books. I’ve finished one. I could blame distraction, my full time job, or beginning a copywriting business. But the truth is, I’ve just been afraid, afraid of another ebook sitting in Amazon and not getting any sales and just a handful of reviews.
But, recently I read almost my exact words regarding the medical industry spoken by James Maskell, founder of the Evolution of Medicine Summit. Then I knew, I’m not alone and my experience and thoughts can contribute to helping others.
This week, I begin the process of preparing to launch my book, All That Is – Beyond the Medical Industry, Vitality Through Mindfulness & Gratitude.
You’re invited to join me in this adventure. You can simply click HERE to receive a graphic broadside of topics covered in my book and be on the mailing list to get special discount offers.
And you can e-mail me at skywalker@skywalkerpayne.com if you’d like to participate in this launch by spreading the word to your networks and/or doing advance reviews.
Take that leap with me and join me HERE.
