The Smartest Thing I Ever Did...™

Submit your stories now to be included in the first book of this exciting new series!

Follow Donald Trump's advice and don't keep great knowledge to yourself! You've "been there, solved that" so why not help encourage and guide others who find themselves in the same situations you'vealready experienced?

The deadline for this first book of the series is February 13, 2012. Choose one topic or several: Your Family, Your Career, Your Health, Your Money.  Additional deadlines are listed for single-topic books--stories submitted now may appear in this flagship book as well as later in its single-topic title.

Read the sample stories on this site before crafting your own Smartest Thing experiences in 350 to 1,500 words. Be sure to include your 50-word bio and contact information, and send your submissions to Submissions at RealSolutionsPress.com.

We look forward to reading and publishing your Smartest Thing story soon!

...for My Health

We could all use a little help improving our health. Let's face it. We're not the healthiest people in the world and our fast-paced, over-committed lifestyle doesn't make it easy to eat or exercise the way we should. Have you discovered a way to break through your natural resistance to dieting? How have you found the time to exercise on a regular basis? Did you find a way to finally quit smoking? What helped you survive cancer?

Share the stories of what you've done in your life to improve your own personal health picture--they may be just what someone else needs to break through to a healthier lifestyle.

Be sure to see the Writing a Great Story in the right-hand column and Sample Stories in the left-hand column to help you write a terrific story for The Smartest Thing I Ever Did™...for My Health.
