Part of my DNA, what motivates me, is taking on new challenges. I like to pick something new to do. Then I research the challenge, study and learn all I can, and then complete the challenge myself.
There is a wonderful magazine focused on living aboard a boat and it is a reader-written magazine, the information is truly the voice of experience, and it is appropriately titled Living Aboard.
Living Aboard started life as a newsletter in 1973. It developed into an every other month, six issues per year magazine. The magazine changed leaders a few times, and in 1997 Fred Walters became the publisher. In May 2010, Fred passed the magazine on to Bob Bitchin and his Lats and Atts family. What is that saying? "The only constant in life is change…"
Anyway…I strongly suggest you subscribe to this wonderful magazine. I received our July/August issue yesterday July 1st. This is a special issue for several reasons. It is the last Fred and Linda created issue. It is the first Bob and Robin created issue. Most important, it contains a well-written article by yours truly! Arrr.

Yep, starting on page 26 is a great article titled, Publishing a Book, and it is about sharing your story with the world. The article is about writing and publishing a book.
I decided I wanted to write a book about two years ago. Or maybe I should say I started to get serious about writing a book about two years ago. I dreamed of writing a book for a long time. So I got serious and started writing. As you know, with any challenge, it is difficult to stay on task. Life has so many distractions. Long story short, the book was sidelined. In August of 2009 I again decided to write and finish my book. So I picked up where I left off, and made the commitment to finish the book, no matter what. I focused on the goal, a completed book, and let nothing distract me. For a month, yes an entire month, from the moment I got up in the morning until I went to bed at night, I worked on my book. It’s kind of a blur now, I honestly don’t remember much of August and the first half of September 2009. In October I published Sail the Seven Seas of Freedom. During the winter I added an ISBN, and purchased a distribution package so Sail the Seven Seas of Freedom is now available through the normal book channels like Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
The point I want to make, what I want to share with you. Subscribe to and support Living Aboard magazine and keep learning and doing new things. Little things or big things, keep doing something, keep learning, and keep tackling challenges.

P.S. The July/August issue is certain to be a collecter's item.
