The goal is that people will read DROP and see that realistic spirituality is a matter of ups and downs. Each of our spiritual journeys are traveled on a road and that road has detours and jagged turns and rarely if ever go straight up to the top of some spiritual mountain or plateau.

All proceeds go toward our ministry work with the Heartland Assisted Living Center, our Zach’s House ministry and my devotional ministry. If you could be open to writing a review about DROP or write a few words on Facebook about it, I’d greatly appreciate it. Just send a message via our contact page and let me know if you’re up to that task. Thanks.

Here’s the cover.

This happens for a number of reasons. There are the bad reasons such as 1) They don’t get anything out of the critiques from group members and think they could use their time better in another group or exchanging stories with fellow writers they meet online on Verla Kay’s blueboard or on the SCBWI website. This is a former critique partner because of choice, their choice to find better critiques.

Another reason people become a former critique member are that they are not contributing to the group in a way that others are contributing to them. This happens when a writer takes more than they give by not doing thorough critiques for her fellow critique group partners. Everyone has probably experienced this. It’s not fun. It’s okay if only one member in a group is identified as more of a taker than giver, but those other group members better do some brilliant critiques for you to make it all worthwhile. This is a former critique partner not by choice, but more so by being asked to resign.

The best way someone becomes a former critique partner is when they move on to success due to publication. Most people do not leave their critique groups when they finally sell a manuscript or two, but due to busy schedules, they may be forced to leave, especially if the critique group is about 6-8 writers. This is being a former critique partner by choice and good circumstances.

I just had a former critique partner who is busy and now published offer to critique one of my latest stories. I am very thankful to Debbie for her offer. Now I just need to make sure to send something her way.

We’ve created a couple specials on our site for Pizza Expo attendees. We have free promotion for any restaurants who want to partner with our pizzeria specific online ordering partner.

We are also offering the first 50 pizzerias who want a “review listing” on PizzaSpotz.com a free one just for them.

I should be posting a new article for The Pizza Blog titled, “Top Ten Things to do in Las Vegas After the Pizza Expo.” I hope to finish that today or later tonight.

We’re partnering with three online ordering sites to provide this information.

Yesterday, we also had someone interested in purchasing PizzaSpotz, a former pizzeria owner in CT. However,
I think he was more interested in the name than the site. But the domain is not for sale.

We also had a pizzeria owner in PA tell say she’d see me at the International Pizza Expo next week.
In my dreams. It just won’t happen this year. But starting in 2014, I do not picture myself missing the
Pizza Expo ever again.

I cannot wait to go.

Just a little bit more to go in the old time radio show I’m now listing to and then I’ll start the pizza. I should be in bed, but can’t get there just yet. I’m not even tired.

One more blog post to add to the new blog. I really am loving this new blog. I hope it helps people see my journey and will be something that Christians who are interested in our church planting and ministry work will find informative. Now on to my first post on my photography blog section. Some people just call those things “photoblogs.” : )

If you’d like to contribute some thoughts on how to monetize such a site, I’d welcome your thoughts. I’ve got ideas, but I love this world we live in because everyone has ideas and loves to share them. Please send any thoughts to brian humek (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks,
Brian

This week will be a good one. Received some good advice from Wes, a gentleman at our church on cold calls. He’s a sales executive at Kimberly Clark. I hope to take his advice and see a lot of good things come from it.
