Prompt: You go into the future 50 years and see something you thought impossible. Return in time to tell yourself all about it.

Motivation: Brought to you by my dear friend, Trish Blackwell. A leap of faith requires a gap. It wouldn't be faith if there wasn't a gap.

3 TIPS TO GET STARTED WRITING TODAY

1. You must believe and visualize.

Upgrading my dictation

Prompt for the week: You wake up in the middle of a dream. But, you can control every aspect of this dream and you start with a cup of wine in your hand. What happens next?

Motivation: “Art is anything you can get away with.” – Andy Warhol

• I want to talk about tech startups when doing dictation.
• First you might start off with some free apps. This might include a Google Docs, voice apps on your phone, some transcription services that might be inexpensive.
• You might jump into what I did next. Which includes getting a recording device and headphones.
• And lastly, my latest improvement. This includes the microphone that I have on my desk, which is primarily used for podcasting but I have been training my Dragon on this for a while.
• This makes this the ideal microphone for dictation and I am also using Audacity
• My results I would say it’s probably about 97 to 98% correct now.
