After feeling like I didn’t meet the mark in my last challenge, something cool happened. I kept with it, for once.

The second key part of the process is follow up. I have been following up to every pitch about two … Continue reading 7 Days to Change Your Ways update and new article on Vocal

petercarriveau

A lesson in setting reasonable expectations Heading into this 7 day challenge or 1WC (1 Week Challenge), I was ready to put in the work, but it was not meant to be. Due to stupidity on my part in my personal life, the beginning of the challenge was stymied due to dealing with some very legitimate problems at home. If I ever write a blog post about relationships, I’ll be sure to write about it. Needless to say, I did not hit the goals that I set, but I have gained some forward momentum. Also, remember when I said I … Continue reading 7 Days to Change Your Ways: Conclusion

This was originally published on August 22nd, 2018 Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew, in fact I’ve written about it before. It’s a human thing, that part of us that is creative and filled with ideas can clash with the reality of the world.

Writing is Power!

petercarriveau

Hello all, It has been a while since I had a website to host my writing, but here we are. I have been posting on Vocal in the meantime, but will start orienting my writing to fit the format of my new site.

Content will ramp up because everyone is stuck indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so why not give folks something to read? So, stay … Continue reading Writing is Power!
