The Story of Christee Gabour Atwood

This is a mini-version of my life and books without all the whining and excuses...

It's also an opening to help you if you are trying to get your first book out there.

If you have questions about independent publishing, ebook publishing, traditional publishing, or want to know how to look like you have a job by simply printing business cards, contact me and we can laugh at ourselves together!

What difference can one person make?


The next time I say, "What difference can one person make?" I hope that I remember to look at this video of one fellow, a silly dance, and a world full of people who joined in because for one moment they felt connected to every other being on earth. Here's to more of those moments. 

Over 10 million views now, and yes, you can see me at 1:44 in New Orleans if you look on the right side for the chicken hat.

My latest column is online at CitySocial.com. Read it and you'll see why I'm not an advice columnist.

Come play with me in New Orleans!

Really excited to be visiting with that wonderful writing group, SOLA, this weekend and doing a program on

Time Management for Writers. 

Oh yes, we'll discuss those amazing methods for getting more writing done in less time like ...

  • lying to an editor and telling them you have three chapters completed, 
  • forcing yourself to give up dark chocolate until you finish your draft, or 
  • ignoring little things like dust bunnies, your children, and personal hygiene.


Yes, you too can complete 5 major books in 2.5 years like I did with this process. And maybe yours will have proper subject and verb agreement. Mine didn't. But that's another class.

Hope to see you there!

Confused?

You might be a little confused if you've tried to reach my website at Christee.biz.

Allow me to explain. I'm trying to do that thing that every writer dreams of. Yes, I'm trying to earn money. So, I'm using my website as my testing ground for the new program I'm creating. It's kind of cool -- it focuses on helping people reach their personal and professional potential.

Of course, since I'm the poster child for ADHD, this project keeps changing. Yes, I have a written plan. No, it's not written in ink. So each week I find myself chasing yet another butterfly and then realizing that I've done it again. I've managed to make a ridiculously simple idea into just a ridiculous idea.

Bear with me, folks. I'm an entrepreneur in training, a person in flux, a writer stuck in her own appendix.

But more exciting and silly things are yet to come and I look forward to sharing them with you. Then you can nod and smile and try to break eye contact so I don't try to sell you anything.

Happy Monday!
Christee

I'm in Top 5% Viewed LinkedIn Profiles!

I'm so proud. But I'm still poor. Obviously I have half of this social media thing down...
