NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE

Hello to all!

How many of you, I wonder, have always wanted to write a book and actually get it published? Well, now is about the easiest time ever to try. Go to Kindle and get some knowledge about how to format the books, and also what they want.

I know it is only 5(or is it 4?) weeks to Christmas, but amazingly you still can write a book. Or maybe you have written a book. Yay! that's half the battle! You are at the top of the mountain. Now the way down is usually easy. Format it and upload it to Amazon and let them handle it. You really do not need to spend a fortune in How-To books like I still do.

Drifting from the topic, I wonder just WHERE that trait came from? My father would watch someone closely, ask a couple of questions, and with very few minor mistakes, get it nearly perfect the first time. The second time was perfect. My younger brother has improved on that formula. His first attempts are always perfect. Being the younger brother, this is mortifying! I often wish I had choked him at birth, but i love him too dearly to do that. Besides, he towers over me now!

My mother was the same. Not me. All four of my siblings have mastered this trait, and the one who hasn't fakes it. Come on, sis, admit it!

No one who lives on this beautiful planet of ours can claim to get things exactly right the first time they even try to do something they are completely unfamiliar with, but they DID try. And, after the first time, it became easier. Einstein never perfected anything at first try. Edison had around 100 tries before he got the hang of a light bulb. So, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE.

Write this on a sticky and tape it to the monitor of your computer where it hits you in the eye the minute you sit in front of the monitor. Pick a really bright note and write in a contrasting colour. DO NOT REMOVE IT UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO. Yes, I'm shouting and I shouldn't but this is so very important.

The simplest things are the hardest things usually. But you found the time to actually write the thing. You are happy with it. The few you have shared it with are happy with it. So, go the last few yards with it. Take one of the minutes, hours, whatever you scrounged to write it and study the manuals from Amazon.

Don't worry about pricing it. Until you see what it is going to do, allow it to be downloaded free. Yes, that's right. FREE. Set a time for it to settle in, say a week or so, and then put your price on it. There are something like 40 billion people in the world, and not all of them will visit the Amazon site every one of those days. The week is to tweak and get it right. Don't just whack it up and get so many things wrong and have to make refunds. Sneak on it, and make it the best, faultless book you can. Bad formatting sinks more books than you could ever imagine, as does poor spelling, and bad grammar. So, let the public have a taste for free. many, if their is any problem with it, will let you know in no uncertain terms and may even give you good advice.

The best thing about publishing this way is: You may lose some sales by it being free, but at least you do not have to refund the lot! And you may benefit too!
