So lately, because of my youngest sissy, I have been on Twitter. She was on- despite being techno-shy (no Facebook)- to follow the unfortunately concluded trial of that whore Casey Anthony. Emboldened by her, I retweeted and started following some cool blogs and such. I spoke of the most vital, The Bloggess, on my first new post on this here site. Another one was Hello Giggles. Which I can't decide if I love or not. Because they tend to have a lot of guest bloggers. Some of whom are shit. But one of whom, last night, intrigued me with a name. Writing In Bed. Her post was about the Kardashians, And while I do NOT keep up w those bitches, I did get her point. It had to do with sisterhood (one of the deepest roots of my soul) and body image. So from her post I go to her blog (writinginbed.tumblr.com) and then discover a sub-page called...Freelance Writing.
!
And while that's good and great and had some advice and tips, what really caught my fancy was this:
A few days ago I uploaded one of my short stories onto Amazon to be sold as a Kindle book.
It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and the only thing I lacked was a cool image for the cover.
But hey, it’s up and it’s sold a few copies already. :)
So I was thinking that you should do the same. If you want to get something self-published, I would say try offering your writing as a Kindle download.
Tons of people own Kindles. Also, I have the Kindle app on my cell phone and downloaded my own story there to see how easy it could be done and yep, it’s pretty dang easy.
Whatever device you have, you can download some Kindle app or software so that you can buy Kindle books. You don’t have to own the device itself to buy these very cool books.
So if you’ve been thinking about getting your writing where you can easily manage the distribution, I would recommend providing people with a link where they can buy your stuff on amazon or even some other self-publishing site like LULU.com.
