Turn Your Novel into Short Stories

 By: smittenkittenorig – CC BY 2.0

I was in the middle of writing a novel for the National November Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) when something hit me; I have a tendency of trying to get things done in a hurry and, needing the money like I do, I kept drifting off writing other things and placing my novel on the back burner.

I came up with an idea, an idea that many of you could use to help make extra money while you are waiting to complete your novel. What would happen if we broke our novel down into many short stories?

Think about it for a second; if we broke the novel down into short stories to sell and then bundled them to create a novel. I am a freaking genius! I like to think so at least.

So, here is my plan and you can use it as well.

I will write one short story a day; the short story much be at least the minimum to complete the 50,000 words that is required by the National November Writing Month website (NaNoWriMo) and once I am finished, I should have enough short stories that are already in the market and I should be able to compile them to create a novel as well.

This takes time

Writing to make money takes time, and trust me, I know this. There is the first draft, second draft, third draft, and so forth, and then the editing portion. It takes a lot of work to finish a book but if we break it down into smaller sections then we can possibly make money while we are waiting for the novel to be complete.

What is your take on this?

I’m curious, I’m a writer so it happens, what is your take on this? Is it something that you have thought of, is it something that you have done, or is it something that you are going to do? Let me know because I would love to know how yours played out.

If you would like to donate to the NaNoWriMo you can do so at Classy.org.

The Difference Between Writing a Blog Post and an Article

 I recently got asked if I would allow an individual to  write an article  for my blog. I assume that what they meant was, could they write a blog post. I also assume that this individual did not know the difference between a blog post and an article. Conversational Language of a Blog Post Conversational language on a blog post is more like you are talking to a close friend. It is like you are having a conversation with an individual that you have known for years. Blog post do not have to be formal at all. Blog post are supposed to invite the readers in and create conversation. Blog post also tend to have the writer’s opinion more than an article does. This does not mean that a blog post is not based on facts. Blog post are editorial pieces at best. Conversational Language of an Article Articles are meant to be informative, leaving false information completely out, and the opinion of the writer at a minimal. Articles are normally formal and more objective. Most articles d...

What You Should Know About AIDS

Aids has become one of the most widely known STD's in the world. Making yourself aware of Aids will help you to better understand ways that you can take prevention measures to refrain from transmitting it or passing it onto someone else.  HIV is the virus that causes Aids.

Earning with Bubblews

I have heard a lot of bad things about  Bubblews . I use to  love to write  for them and I still do every now and again. One review that I had seen was from a dear friend who had gotten kicked off of their site for unknown reasons, another review was from another friend who said that the pay system was really messed up but she still got paid, it just took longer than they state. Well, I have been writing for them for a while now. I don’t write there frequently though. You are allowed to post ten articles or post a day. I don’t take full advantage of this though; I am lucky if I post one a week. Anyways, this is my current pay scale that I have. I need to reach $50 before I can withdraw this into my PayPal account and right now I am at $46. I will keep you updated on my progress with them. Please let me know how your experience has been so far.
