Do you know that you can write a 5,000 word Short Story and Publish it on Amazon?  You add a bio of yourself, where to contact you and a Thank You Page.  Add a tease of what your next book or short story will be.  You will be close to 10,000 words.  

Amazon has made it super easy to format, create a cover and to publish your book. 

You can write the short story within 2 days.  Take a couple of days to edit.  Format your file and hit the publish button.  Publish On Amazon

I had no idea what I was doing when I started.  I learned as I went.  I published a short story 

Zombie Zoo

Within 24 hours of hitting the publish button, I sold a copy.  I knew that this was it.  This was before Rapid Release Publishing.  I was doing this not knowing anything.  So I wrote and published a short story every month.  I learned to format, edit and create covers.  I sold copies every month.  I talked with my tax guy and was no long a baker in some store, I was a writer.

Now I have over 50 E-Books on Amazon along with Print Books.

If you want to dip your toe into the world of being Self-Published, Writing and Publishing a short story is a way to get your feet wet and learn as you go.

You have to start somewhere.  What are you waiting for?

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Instead, I write.  I might not write 2,000 words everyday.  What I do everyday is, I write.  I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing.  I have people come to my blog everyday.  People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer.   I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother.  I write to live.  I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
