R.M. Almeida Computer Down
My computer has been down for the past week. It is back up…sort of, so I will continue to post as much as I can, when I can until I can repair my problem.

R.M. Almeida- A Memorial Day Tribute from Another Veteran May 27, 2019If you have not served in the military, you have not experienced what it is like to truly offer yourself, your life and your freedom to serve. That being said, it was the military that allowed me to “kickstart” options in my life that I never realized I had. We All Had a Reason to […]R. M. Almeida
- A Mother’s Day Tribute May 12, 2019Many of my Meetup members, friends and family have been talking to me about contributing to my site again. It looks like they have won. I can’t think of a better day to start than on Mother’s Day. My mother turned 95 yesterday (May 10th, 1924). Notice that I did not mention that she “celebrated” […]R. M. Almeida
- Hangin’ with Dr. Marissa Pei March 9, 2019If you haven’t heard of Dr. Marissa Pei, you will. I met Dr. Pei while I was working at the store in February. We talked briefly about her book “8 Ways to Happiness”, and what it takes to sell and promote it. Take one look at Dr. Pei’s website and you will see hard work. […]R. M. Almeida
- My Ode to My Wife September 21, 2018I wrote a poem for my wife. Not just any poem, but lyrics for a song. It has been over 15 years since I have written any kind of poetry, but I felt moved to do so. At the urging of my fellow 5Artz Creative Affiliations members, I have decided to post the first draft […]R. M. Almeida
- How an Image Can Sell Your Book September 19, 2018I just received an email from Martin Cavannagh from Reedsy about book covers. It was a simple, concise letter that reminded me how important a book cover is when selling a book. As a bookseller with over 30 years of experience, I know too well, how books are sold. I cannot count the number of self-published […]R. M. Almeida
- The Hero’s Journey: A Measure of Success February 7, 2018Tonight’s workshop at Barnes & Noble, Summerlin was a measure of success. By the looks of our workshop attendees, I believe I can safely assume that it was by far, a great measure of success. Yes…you are correct. I am the dumpy-looking one in the background, next to Bill Guthrie. If you don’t know Bill […]R. M. Almeida
- The Hero’s Journey: Storytelling 101, the Big Day February 6, 2018The day is here. Our first night of a packed venue, our second Meetup at Barnes & Noble, Summerlin. We may not be on the schedule, but after tonight, I hope that our store managers will place us on the map as a regular occurrence at the store. We will be discussing the “Hero’s Journey“, […]R. M.

- Writer’s Workshops: A Way for Writers to Meet…IN PERSON February 4, 2018I checked how long it has been since I made my last post and was appalled. My last post was made on June 25th of last year. I stopped because the advice I was given was that my writing was not ready. When is your writing…”ready”? I can agonize over punctuation, grammar or content until […]R. M. Almeida
- The Personal Experiences of a Writer July 24, 2017I refuse to allow another week to transpire without publishing something of significance to this blog. I am still editing past blog posts, to ensure that they reflect a degree of professionalism. In the interim, I have decided to share short original written work ranging from 500 to 1500 words that deal with my personal experiences […]R. M. Almeida
- Creative Series Blog: July 2, 2017 July 3, 2017Today’s Creative Series blog post will be available tomorrow. My apologies. A number of errors were discovered in many of the initial blogs. Rather than post submissions with errors, I am correcting all punctuation, grammar and style errors, so that they reflect a more professional site.R. M. Almeida
