Free webpage builder

http://hjertebager.wix.com/thehistorictraveler#!home/mainPage

Today I made the above webpage at wix.com to start on my next project. So far so good it seems to work and I was published within minutes.

I found it via:
http://www.designzzz.com/free-online-website-builders/


I used it instead of one.com that keept acting up. And I mead in a bad way. I started over 4 - 5 times and was adviced to use "Webcreator" which didn´t extist on my controlboard. Paying for something that doesn´t work is allways bad.

Then finding something online that worked just as well - is rubbing salt in it. :(

Here is an article that might help you:

E - book writting

Ok--- Today´s ebook learning.

  • The boys went into to woods
  • The two boys went into to the lush, green wood and listen to the wind blowing through the leaves
  • The two boys went into to the dark forest and the young one fell and hurt his knee

So choice of words and context has to be meaningfull....AND in fictional text one can overload the sensory imagery(?) and in historic text one has to be carefull. Unless there is pictures or eyewitness account to support your claim.

E - book writting




Today has been a rough day at my E - book writting. Finding sources to confirm statements and the list goes on.

Next trying to find the "tone" or style in ones writting. Look at a storyteller like H. C . Andersen.

Look at "The Bell" - "The origianl Mermaidstory" - The Emporer without clothes and the Ugly Duckling

These four stories are great as to the use of sensory storytelling. Notice the long  haul - in of the reader in the "Mermaid" and the Mood setting start of the Ugly Duckling.

The storyline of the Bell is so simpel but notice how we are also on a sensory based journey with the two boys before they find the bell or heaven.

That really helped me as to tone and grabbing the attention of the reader. So todays tip for E- book writting

H. C Andersen.

Up -date on My E -book writting

I must admit that at every turn and twist there is a new learning curve ahead of me. I am off to some what of a good start and have 20 pages ready. Alas there is 120 more to go(LOL).

As for online help and advice I found these to be of particular help:

www. blogtyrant.com. His advice on blogging is also great(I have posted him once before on the research post. But the site is worth more then one visit when you are at the stage I am at) http://www.blogtyrant.com/popular-posts/

http://bloggingwithamy.com/how-to-write-an-ebook-formattin/

She has some great post about writting and getting your book "out there"

and  http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/16/switch-from-print-to-web-where-to-start/

Important notes on Fonts etc.

All in all writing a e-book is for everyone. But marketing is a HUGE thing and much more work on a yearly basis then I realized.

  • So write your hearts desire. (Ok I am there)
  • Write in or so It can transfom to a PDF. (downloaded OpenOffice as two of the above recomended)
  • Pictures...copyright and such - Yikes - I have so far used free pictures online from the posts on photos I did earlier. I guess as long as the book is not for comercial use. Photos are still free or ??
  • Marketing - leave next year for just marketing alone. Ups didn´t anticipate that.
