Nobody ever became a writer

Nobody ever became a writer just by wanting to be one. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald



It does take hard work. Here is a quote from one of my upcoming webinar series:

If you think publishing your own book is hard, let me tell you, when I first began, I knew nothing. I had no paid software like Microsoft Office or Photoshop or Acrobat. But with several weeks of reading all the help files, downloading all the free software I could find, lots of trial and error, and worst of all, rejection, I managed to publish my first eBook on Amazon.

I kid you not, my first Kindle book on Amazon was about 20 pages and it took me about a month to get it formatted, uploaded, rejected, over and over and finally approved with the right table of contents. It was the same for Nook and then Play and finally Createspace paperback.

Recently I got two books up simultaneously on Kindle and Createspace within 10 days. That's an amazing change in my process, and trimming the fat. If you want to get your book published, let me share my secrets with you.

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Review: How to Outline a Nonfiction Book: [#writing]

How to Outline a Nonfiction Book: How to Write an Outline That Will Make Writing Your Nonfiction Book a Breeze by Dean R. Giles My rating: 3 of 5 stars If you've never written a book of any sort. If you've never written a non-fiction book. If you're totally clueless. If you need to copy/paste your way to completing a non-fiction book. There might be something here for you. I have a dozen non-fiction books already published. I have had a couple on best-seller lists. That being said just to explain my possibly unique position, not to brag, I got not much out of this. You on the other hand might find the perfect tool to use to achieve your perfect non-fiction book. It's totally worth an hour to check it out and discover for yourself. View all my reviews
