It makes sense when you think about it.
Blogging is micro-publishing, done by yourself, on your own timetable.
Bloggers are prolific and talented writers, and virtually (pun intended) every blogger has at least one book (and probably more) in their vast store of knowledge.
Write what you is the lesson given to beginning writers.
My good friend David St. Lawrence of the brilliant and must read Ripples is a fine example of all of the above ideas.
In a very informative and honest two part discussion on self publishing, David takes bloggers and other writers through his experiences writing a book. In the vein of writing what you know, David has written his first major work on what he knows well. He chose the world of employment, layoffs, and what happens next.
In the case of David's wonderful book,entitled Danger Quicksand: Have A Nice Day, the what happens next is self employment and entrepreneurship.
To facilitate the publishing process, David has formed his own publishing company called Bent Crow Press.
In support of marketing Danger Quicksand: Have A Nice Day, David has generously made the book available in pdf format; and in PDA format, for your convenience.
The download of Danger Quicksand: Have A Nice Day is free.
You can't beat that price.
In his two part Ripples posting on self publishing, David takes the reader through the entire initial book publishing process in Part One.
In Part Two of the self publishing series, David discusses the gritty details of publishing, including cost of printing, and even how a book is actually printed. It makes for very interesting reading when David tells it, as always, with his unique voice.
Be sure to join over 1200 other readers, including me, who have downloaded Danger Quicksand: Have A Nice Day.
David also would appreciate you passing the download URLs around to your friends and family, and anyone else who currently has a job , and who dreams of moving on toward becoming an entrepreneur, rather than an employee.
After that, be sure to purchase a hard copy of the book to read over and over again.
The book could change your life...for the better!
