On Writing
Self publishing is generally thought of in terms of a few different options. A good portion of self published authors end up turning to vanity presses. Some authors choose to have a small print run of 500 or 1000 books (or more) done by a local printer. Others opt to use a POD service (like CreateSpace or Lulu) to publish their book. And still others just go the ebook route, making their book available through the Kindle or sites like SmashWords.

There’s nothing wrong with getting story ideas from the stories and books of others. Inspiration can come from anywhere, and just because something has already been published doesn’t mean everything it contains is immediately off-limits. A word, a line, or a paragraph from someone else’s work can provide great inspiration for your own work. So each Tuesday and Thursday I provide a short excerpt from classic literature or other books in the public domain. All excerpts are taken from Project Gutenberg.
Looking through photos is a great way to get inspired. Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning a visual writing prompt will be posted.
If you’d like to share whatever you write based on the image below, please include it in the comments. It doesn’t have to be directly related to the image, as long as the image was the inspiration for it. At some point in the future, this may turn into a weekly competition with prizes. So get your practice in now!
