#114 Doing the Daunting Work with John Bukowski

In this episode, we talk to John Bukowski. He describes himself as a nice guy, good thinker and good writer. John lives in the United States. John tells us about sitting on a comma after the 2008 recession and writing his first “draft” novel. When unemployment created hardship, John looked at the opportunity in the down time and decided to finally write his first novel. While not published, this experience began the journey that would follow and showed him that he was capable of success. Drawing on past evidence and practicing progress one day at a time, John eventually turned his passion into a pursuit of fulfillment and growth. Tune in to hear what John means when he says “you have to break the 90,000 words up one day at a time”.You can find John on:Website:  https://www.thrillerjohnb.netX:  https://x.com/jabukow2021 Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-bukowski-74a304236 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wwc.johnb John would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to him and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:My wife, Susan AielloMy beta reader and writing buddy, Elizabeth HainesAll the veterans who serve to protect our freedomUSO  https://www.uso.org  WE'RE WITH ALL SERVICE MEMBERS & MILITARY FAMILIES From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the people serving today can rely on the USO because of your support.Wounded Warrior Project  https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org  Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) is the nation’s leading veterans service organization, dedicated to the total well-being of post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veterans and their families.
