You’ve decided on an author career.
Of all the things you could do full-time (and then some) to earn an income, you’ve chosen to write books for publication.
And after hearing stories of successful writers earning more than enough with their craft, you’re ready to dive in.
Writing is much more than a hobby to you. It’s the air you breathe. Why shouldn’t it also be the thing that keeps you clothed and fed?
Writing flash fiction, as any writer of short stories can tell you, isn’t easy.
Not only do you face the challenge of writing within the flash fiction word count, but also your story has to keep the reader fully engaged from the title to the last sentence — and beyond.
If you want to know how to write flash fiction, learn from those who do it well.
Then use a list of inspiring flash fiction prompts to help you get started writing your own.
You’ve experienced the power of words in a way you will never forget. Even now, the memory lingers.
How could a few small words have such a big impact on your life?
Words have power. And only when you experienced that power yourself — either as the giver or as the receiver — did you begin to understand it.
You can use the power of words to heal or comfort others. Or you can use it to tear them down. Your character shapes and is shaped by the way you use this power.
So, how can you make the most of it?
Writing great fiction is enough of a challenge without all the conflicting advice out there.
When was the last time you read a bit of advice and thought, “But so-and-so said the exact opposite”?
Different people like different styles, so variety is a good thing.
And authors like Stephen King realize that.
Would you like some practical tips on how to write faster?
Of course, you would.
Who in the writing community wouldn’t love to get more writing done in less time?
Fast writing means more time to spend with family and friends, more time to explore new creative outlets, and more time to read, among other things.
It also means you can write more books (or whatever it is you enjoy writing)!

You have a great idea for a nonfiction book, but you don’t know how to get started — and you’re not sure it would even sell.

You already know more about your subject than most people you know, but how do you make this book bridge the gap between what you know and what your readers specifically want to learn?
How do you go beyond what you now know and your reasons for writing this book to create something that will change the lives of your readers for the better?
