The delicious Joy of Becoming an e book Writer
By: Corey Erickson
How many people do you know that can call themselves a published writer?
A few?
then if you think back to high school what quantity of folks that you knew then wanted to become a writer but then grew up to be something dull and practical instead?
From Hollywood films to prime time TV the lives and lifestyles of a writer have been romanticized and exalted. ( In part I suspect because the writers of flicks and TV shows aspire to be published writers themselves ).
At parties anyone that writes as a living becomes an immediate celebrity. Everyone wants to know how they get their ideas and give them their concepts for stories or articles they think should be written about. Many people upon meeting a writer will tell them there entire life story hopping that the writer will somehow use it there next book thus making them immortal.
Sometime it is downright reticules the amount of attention paid to writers.
Yet that's the draw for some people to sit alone in a coffee shop and gawk off into their imagination and then type furiously while cup after cup of expensive good coffee goes cold on the table un-touched while they feverishly tap away at the keyboards of their computers.
Thanks to self publishing more and more folks are getting to experience the lifestyles of Hemingway, Poe and Thoreau.
The expenses to self publish and e-book online is nearly nothing and takes tiny if no time in any way. A web site that permits shoppers to buy eBooks can be made simply with free web sites like those had through websites like Wordpress.com and setting up a payment processor through sites like Paypall.com can be accomplished in less time than studying this report.
So did you've a story to tell?
Do you remember the ones that floated around in your head as a teenager? Is there anything left of the raged spiral notebook you scratched in, as the buss rumbled you along home? What was that story you and your best pal were telling each other and adding bits to in the light of a flashlight at summer camp that year? What was the name of that movie you saw with the dumb ending? How would you have done it better if it was your story? Are you wanting to make the world laugh or reveal something worth crying about till somebody does something to stop it?
Why not shut off the television and set out on the back patio with a tom colons dripping sweat down its side and pop open your computer and start clickity clacking on the old keyboard while the dog chases bird shadows up the fence.
Life is good as writer, just you wait and see!
