Something New in the Publishing World

For all those interested in new ways to publish Kindle has done it!  It is called Kindle Scout. Once submitted your book is then previewed (just the first chapter or so) by other Kindle readers who can then nominate your book for Kindle to publish. If you book comes out on top they then pay you an advance and give you a contract. The best of both worlds!!! If you want to know more check out my book and while you are there if you want to leave a nomination that would be great!

Welcome to my new blog where together we will figure out what writing is all about.  Depending on the day my opinion on what a writer is changes.  When I was younger writing was a way to escape daily life and the boredom of growing up in a small town in the Midwest.  As I grew what I discovered was that a writer's views and purposes change.  Some days I want to tell a story, some days I want to make a point, and some days I want to just laugh and be entertained.  
It is important that as a writer we don't let ourselves get trapped in a box.  Looking at the word and presenting it in different ways is our job.  Take a moment and think about why you write? What is your purpose? Leave a post and share with others what you like most about writing and maybe even what you like least.
