Good is never easy.


If you’ve been following this blog you're aware of my recent hiatus. It started when I decided to pull all seven of my titles from Amazon due to their lack of performance and weak sell’s. The idea was to take responsibility rather than offering up whiny excuses and make necessary changes that would hopefully give my work a better and  much more professional appearance.

During the process last week I dropped the netbook I’ve been using for the last year and a half and was forced to make an adjustment. I had insurance on the netbook so I filed a claim and was told I would be receiving a replacement within twenty-four hours. Much to my delight FedEx showed up the following afternoon with a package.

 Upon opening the box I discovered they had accidentally sent me a Tablet rather than a Netbook. I was ready to send it back, but my daughter talked me into giving the new device a chance before returning it.

My initiation was a challenge because I’m fifty-one years old and like others of my generation, I too struggle with change.  The tiny touch screen keypad proved to be an obvious problem, however my daughter stepped up and once again opened my eyes as she pulled up all the available  accessories on her on computer and walked me through a few options. I then  borrowed a wireless keypad form a friend which proved it to be very user friendly.

I’ve since learned of a docking system which allows this Tablet to double as a laptop giving me much more versatility and a host of other options, and with that I've become very comfortable with this new gadget. 

So, there you have it. While on this hiatus I've been tweaking my material and during  the process I’ve come a little more into the 21st century ...as far as technology goes. I have often said,” Good is never easy, but hard is always difficult.”  Often, the two are only separated by a very thin margin in something we call ...attitude. 

While on hiatus I've learned my material needed some work and my attitude needed some adjusting. It has not come easy, but again…”Good is never easy.” Just like this old dog learning a new trick on something called a  Tablet. It has truly made this hiatus much easier.

Blessings,

Cam
