All welcome- but you must sign up have accesss. How many tabs are open? When I work on a project, be that a book, an article, or while writing for my podcast, I'm the kind of creator who has 10-15 browser tabs open, files and images cluttering my desktop, and resources propped open from several places. It's a messy system. It's no system. But, I'm delighted by a new solution. It's called Kahana. A free service, platform, and tools to help with everything I want to make or plan. Optimal organization and clean and undistracted writing hubs are built-in. Now, just one navigable area holds my whole project that teem with files and resources—and it's stress-free. What a salvation from wasted time and hassles! If you'd like to take a look at this free-forever access to writing resources that is simple, frictionless, and distraction-free, use the reference code FOUNDER. PLEASE NOTE: These are limited spots on a waiting list and available for a limited time. Get you Founder Account at Kahana or get more info here at Kahana.blog   A LITTLE HELP, please?• Most everything I create can be enjoyed for little or nothing. So, that means I need your help to make this possible. Can you give today? Just pay-what-you'd-like or what you can to help.
