Anyone who has followed me for any length of time knows that I'm all about teeny, tiny goals. You can write an entire novel every year if you really write for 10 solid minutes a day.
But what if 10 minutes is too much?
If you're ill. If you're overwhelmed with non-writing work. If you have a bunch of kids and a mountain of laundry and volunteer work and a job.

What happens if we produce journalism and nobody reads it? This is not an existential worry lurking beyond the keyboard of every reporter and editor, but a growing problem of "never-newsers": people who deliberately or accidentally avoid the news.
According to the recent Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism's annual digital news report, about an average 32% of people regularly avoid the news, up from 29% in 2018.

Journalists must work to "future-proof" their business and find more sustainable funding models going forward, a survey into journalists' views found.
Cxense's "Don't stop the press" survey shows that 46 percent of reporters have a negative outlook for the future of the journalism industry. However, it also found that only one in five journalists said their newsrooms use data to deliver personalized content to their readers.

Im going to tell you a secret. It's something almost no one in my professional life knows. I'm dyslexic. Given that knowledge, my chosen career — writer — might seem odd. But while I was cursed with poor spelling skills, I've always been drawn to storytelling. The career-planning report that accompanied the aptitude test I took at 13 even tried to dissuade me from a "literary" career, but even back then I had enough bravado to overrule that piece of computer-generated advice.

Apple is changing Apple News+, its digital newsstand, after an underwhelming start that isn't putting a lot of money into the pockets of magazine and newspaper publishers, Business Insider reported.

What's the one question authors ask me most frequently?
"How long do I have to market my book?"
I never deviate from this answer: "Only for as long as you want to sell it."
Every author hates hearing that. By the time most get around to asking it, usually a few weeks from their launch date, they're exhausted and broke. By then, it's much too late.
To save you time, trouble and disappointment, I've collected the most frequently asked questions I hear about book publicity.

Everyone has that one app. The one that mocks you from your home screen. The app that lures you to the folder where you've tried to hide it. The app you've signed out of and deleted — only to download again the next morning. The app you can't quite quit.
For Corey Lewis, it was Instagram. "I found myself constantly scrolling through it for no reason, all the time," the 43-year-old Seattle-based tech marketing consultant said.

Here at Naked Security, we're well aware that social networks aren't for everyone, and if you've decided to stay away from them, we're good with that.
After all, the best way to prevent privacy blunders and data breaches is simply not to give out the data in the first place — or, if you're a vendor, not to pressure people into sharing things that they don't need to give you and that you'll probably never use anyway.

A new law went into effect in Florida this week. It says local ordinances can't prohibit residents from planting vegetable gardens. And if that sounds pretty specific for a state law, that's because it was inspired by one woman's pursuit of the freedom to cultivate. Hermine Ricketts lives in south Florida, and she loves to eat the food she grows. She showed NPR around the garden in front of her house in Miami Shores a few years ago.

Catherine McDonnell-Forney has been growing food at her Minneapolis home for the entire decade that she's lived there. But now she tends a registered Climate Victory Garden.
"Climate change is one of the top issues for me," she said. "It affects all of us, and our ability to live happy, healthy lives. One way we can help is growing our own food and making healthier soil."
