Someone posed the question to me again the other day, \u201cHow do you come up with so many blog topics?\u201d<\/p>\n
I blog almost daily. This is blog number 1,849 for this publishing blog. I guess I am what you call prolific. But remember, I cut my teeth in this business as an article-writer. That\u2019s how I made my living for many years. So I\u2019m sort of self-trained in turning every idea, thought, occurrence, experience, etc. into a story, tip or essay.<\/p>\n
My blog (and article) ideas come from the authors I meet, clients, friends, strangers, articles\/book titles, comments I hear, interviews, my audiences\/readers and colleagues. They emerge through questions from non-writers and sometimes from what isn\u2019t said. I write from my experiences, my perceptions and my own curiosity. And using these prompts, I try to share, teach, preach and inform other authors who are just launching out with their first book-writing experience. Why? Because there\u2019s a lot to know and to beware of and because I have a lot of information and resources you can use.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m currently working on an enewsletter for authors. I plan to circulate it once a month starting in July. If you\u2019d like to receive the premiere issue next month, send me your email address and I\u2019ll put you on the list. plfry620@yahoo.com<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAll authors are interested in, if not intrigued by, book covers\u2014or you should be. Here\u2019s something you don\u2019t see very often\u2014the step-by-step process, with artists sketches, showing the development of the book cover for my new novel, Catnapped, A Klepto Cat Mystery<\/em>. Visit Bernadette Kazmarsky\u2019s website to see how this cover morphed from an idea to a beautiful and intriguing work of art. http:\/\/thecreativecat.net\/featured-artwork-catnapped-book-cover\/#.UcisJpzKSb4<\/a><\/p>\n
