Ah, the art of writing. The beauty of putting words to paper (or screen) and then publishing the words for the world to see and appreciate. Thereās something romantic about this, isnāt there?
And if you read on the web, and blogs, and listen to podcasts and watch youtube videos, youāre told you can do it all for free! For free?!? Sign me upā¦
Well, letās do a quick reality check. You can do it for free. Yup, you can. Thereās a number of free tools out there making it possible to write, edit, format, create graphics, and publish for free. But you know what? Free can be very painful. I know. Iāve tried free. Then I bought an app. Then another app. And then I was able to focus on writing more, which is the point, right?
Go ahead and answer out loud. The correct answer is: Right!
Instead of going through the pains and recreating the wheel, why not learn from my struggles and mistakes? Is my way better than the other info you can find on the worldwide everything? Probably not. But, I can tell you how Iām doing it. How Iām writing my third book in a series and have written and published books beyond that. My way is exactly that; my way.
Iām offering it to you as you develop YOUR WAY of writing and producing books to publish to the masses.
Iāll throw in a few links here and there to give you some one-click access to decide if the applications are worth it to you. Iām not going to explain how to use the applications, Iām mostly going to go over the āwhyā I use them in my process over other paid and free methods.
I hope these ideas and workflows are helpful as you develop your own methods and arsenal to get your good writing out there.
Good luck!
