The right time.
You’ve waited for it. And if we’re honest, we’ve all waited for it. Perhaps it will happen this coming new year!
Some never stop waiting for the right time: To write a book. To query an agent. To start a blog. To call themselves a writer.
You’re sitting at your desk, thinking. At least, you want to be. But you’re not. Not, really.
You want to be thinking of something utterly amazing, something so brilliant the letters will burn themselves onto the page.
The words, the sentences, the paragraphs, the pages, and finally, the book– it will dazzle everyone who reads it…
Are you ready to wield the Force as a Jedi blogger?
Learn first the 13 secrets revealed in this post you must to awaken the blogging within you.
Why in your right mind would you choose to put your creative work out into the world again?
It’s a question that’s plagued me for the past 10 years. All that self-doubt, rejection and potential criticism; you know what’s waiting so why put yourself through all of that unnecessarily?
So you’re a writer (or a painter, a singer, or an artist of any kind) and you want celebrities such as, Jerry B. Jenkins and Warren Adler, and perhaps you want to throw a mega blogger into the mix, like, say, Mr. Badass himself, Jeff Goins, all to endorse your work. So how do you do that?
This is a guest post by Shayla Eaton.

She is the author of The Curiouser Crusade and the Pre-Publishing Checklist.
Choosing to self-publish your book means you’re in control of the process. But like Ben Parker said to Spider-Man: “With great self-publishing comes great responsibility.” Or, you know, something like that.
This post is for serious writers looking to seriously self-publish their work.
In a very real way, I’m embarrassed to post this, but in another way—it needs to be done!
I recently had One Single Post bring in over a t h o u s a n d new subscribers and it reached tens of thousands of readers. I was stunned, shocked, and, you guessed it, astonished (all of the usual superlatives)! But looking back it’s not as surprising as it might seem, so today I’m going to reveal how I did it and how you can do it, too.
You want to know the funny thing about creating such a post? You don’t have to be a great writer to create one and any blogger can do it.
If you’re not willing to suffer through hours, days, weeks and yes, even months of not being able to write anything useable, then I’ve got some shocking news for you, writing isn’t for you.
I hope you enjoy the quotes. Feel free to share, print, and re-post. Click images for the high resolution versions.
