The Next Step: Putting your Phone to Work!

Hi Everyone!  My name is Alena Tauriainen and I’m a newbie writer. It’s true, I’m addicted.

I’ve started this amazing journey to write.  Do you find this journey fun yet difficult?  That’s my experience so far. With four children, a spouse, school and a family business to keep up, time is of the essence. Once I discovered this desire to write, I had to get creative in finding time to learn the craft and actually write.

We all have the same twenty-four hours in a day, but some days I blink and the day is over.  I’ve had to be inventive to find the time, ANY time to learn and to write.

I was so very excited with my latest discovery.

Smart Phones!!! I have an HTC Android and I figured out how to listen to the Pep Talk while driving.  Most of us can listen while driving to complete errands or while your commuting to and from work.

Do you have a smart phone?   An unlimited data plan with internet?

Great!  You can do this too!

Pull up www.mybooktherapy.com and sign in with your log in name and password. Once there, click into Chat & Pep Talk section (bottom right hand side of page) and select Pep Talk you want.

Now, word of caution! First, please don’t attempt to watch and drive.   Umm, we want you to finish the novel alive. Secondly, set this all up before you pull out and start driving.  It will take a few moments before starting.  Oh, and if you have too much background noise.  Plug in the smart phone via an auxiliary cord (which can be purchased for about ten bucks), to your car stereo system.

Give it a try and tell me what you think!

Blessings,

Alena Tauriainen

  1. That’s a pretty cool idea. 🙂 Since I don’t drive, I just stay up late, after everyone goes to bed to catch the pep talks. 🙂 It’s the only way I can pay attention. Finding time to write is a challenge for me, too. I homeschool my girls who are 4 and 6, and I write my own lesson plans. So, I’m excited that the pep talks are archived.

  2. LOVE this idea, Alena! Never thought of it. Of course, that may be because I don’t have a smart phone yet. Would it work on an iPod? My honey may be getting me one of those. Thanks for sharing your creative idea for maximizing car time! 🙂
