Story of Cancer - Cancer Meaning #1

Story of Cancer - Cancer Meaning #1 | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it
This board is dedicated to the special courage it takes to be a cancer survivor. I have a dog in this hunt and am working hard to help cure cancer in our lifetime.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

I hope to create a series of "Cancer Meanings" because hearing the Big C and your name in the same sentence changes you in important ways.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Scooped a great piece from @TMGmedia earlier about how your blog is your converison work horse http://sco.lt/4ichv7 and now Ana shares some great tips on creating a "blog study" to help your blog work even harder to support your content marketing. 

Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, March 19, 12:16 AM

For example, look at an educator blog (Bill FerriterWill Richardson or Dean Shareski could be good options) and have teachers subscribe through email to their posts.  As they write, perhaps have a discussion time once a week or month, on things that were stated in the blog, and whether they agree or disagree, and how those ideas apply to your school.  You can host a chat online through something like twitter, or keep them offline if that is what works best for your community.  Ensure that if you do pick a blog, make sure that it is someone that updates consistently and perhaps connect with the blog author and let them know that you are doing a “blog study” on their work.  This is something that you do not have to do with necessarily an educator blog (Seth Godin would be an interesting one), but I think that it would be more applicable to use a blog on education for schools.

Here are some of the reasons this would be beneficial:

Atomic Bomb Author Promises Blow Up In Writing Demands

Atomic Bomb Author Promises Blow Up In Writing Demands | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it
Richard Rhodes, the Pulitzer-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb, and of 23 other books, delivered one of the keynotes at this year’s Mayborn Conference for Literary Journalism. 

 

Here are five top takeaways from that address, followed by an edited transcript of his talk and a snippet from the Q-and-A session that followed....

 

[Inspiring read for writers, bloggers, PR and content marketing pros - JD]

Marty
My favorite piece of this inspiring keynote by a favorite author discusses writing's sweat equity with writing the book at hand not chasing some perfect mental mirage:

The book in your head may be the platonically ideal book you could write, while the book you do write may seem a poor beast indeed, Caliban to your ideal book’s Prospero. But the book you write is real. And when you finish, you can hold it in your hands. And when you’re ready, you can share it with others. The world will be a little warmer place as a result.

And

To extract meaning from the real takes imagination. (indeed)
