Write Right Now

Lately my writing has become extremely important to me; it is my outlet for fun, anger, and boredom. I enjoy writing so much because it gives me a chance to let my feelings out. I know there must be a profitable way to live my life and do what I love at the same time. A dream of mine is to publish a book, although the ideas for this novel have yet to come to me (only in bits and pieces). Leo Babauta writes in his blog, freelanceswitch, that there are just a few steps to becoming a free lance blog writer. I had never really heard of this before, so I was extremely intrigued. He does note though to not quit your day job, yet that you can blog from basically anywhere at any time of the day. He said the first step is to create your own blog, which is what I am doing right now. Then the next part in the process is to get noticed and hopefully continue on to guest blog. I am not quite sure what the future holds for me quite yet, but I am hoping this will be the start I need.
Peace & Love,
Allison

    Have you considered using the blogging platform to distribute a novel in serial form? One proposal for that sort of thing was made in the context of NaNoWriMo. http://www.writelit.com/blog-your-novel-month

    Here's also a good NPR story on the unfortunately named Wovel (web novel), which actually sounds pretty interesting.

    Sounds good. Good luck Allison!
    I'm thinking about writing too - though it will be a YA book. I have posted it on y blog.

    Good luck -- I hope it will turn out as you wanted it.
