Write It Forward: From Writer to Successful Author 10-24-17Bob Mayer
Presentation to Writers Digest Conference. How does one make the leap from being a writer to a successful career as an author? It requires much more than just writing the book.
Minimalist interior design focuses on simplicity and using only necessary elements. It is inspired by Japanese design principles of reducing spaces to their essential components. The style uses neutral color palettes, clean lines, and high-quality materials. Furniture, lighting, and decor are sparse but carefully selected. Floors are hard surfaces like polished concrete or long timber planks. Walls are kept plain while artwork, if any, is large and impactful. The overall goal is a tidy, organized space that feels open through the use of light colors and absence of clutter.
