I had goals of writing a book and publishing a short story. I was writing like a mad woman. Involved in a couple writing groups and leading a poetry therapy group.

How I did it: I went to Legalzoom.com. It was much easier for me than trying to figure out which attorney to use. I actually found the link on 43 things. It was very quick and easy. I didn't add specific items for people but I don't have a lot of value. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I actually find I can only do about two pages at a sitting. I just kept pulling it out. I wish it hadn't taken a year though. There was some risk in losing my motivation but that didn't happen. Read how I did it…
