      Saw you're doing a blogging challenge? Is that related to happy endings? Content marketing, building "out in the open"? 30 straight days will be badass!

        Yeah. You know me. I need to put my intentions on blast in order to to hold my ass accountable. I've done a shit job of building audience while building happy endings. And as I get closer to launch, I'm feeling the lack.
