I had been on a writer's block the past 6 weeks whereas come to think of it, my wife and I had been in 3 countries and there is really so much to tell. So much to tell but so little time. Well at least that's what I thought..
Until I got to sat down and pondered on an email Mr Jomar Hilario, an online entrepreneur guru, had forwarded me. It got me to clicking this Kindle thing and how I could earn passive income from it. Kindle? Well I (and probably 96% of Filipinos) are so used to reading pdfs as ebooks instead of kindle books so why bother?
That's when I began checking out this link he sent me and within an hour I was truly convinced that kindle books are the more user friendly ebooks in the market. I was amazed with its functionality..Just by touching a word a little longer in any of its text, a menu pops out giving you its definition and asking you either if you want to highlight such or take extra notes of or share it thru twitter or FB. It's an interactive book!(Nope, Amazon did not pay me to say kind words about this haha).
What caught my interest all the more was that the opportunity makes any interested writer make his own kindle book easily and have it published online in the Amazon stores for selling instantly entitling the author or publisher lifetime royalty income. Hmm, something which I had dreamed when I was in high school and thought as impossible (imagine National Book Store or Rex book store approaching you and asking if they could publish your work and put it in their stores...hmm far out!) is now something which I can now do at home and be seen and sold everywhere. :)
So having studied it well and watched Mr Deiss' videos, I was truly convinced to make the investment and dive into this. Of course, I investigated and checked some third party reviews on the site. It's not actually a walk in the park.. I paid a hefty sum (Philippine standards) to get enrolled and be in the club and get the course & necessary special softwares (let's just say it's much like our college tuition fee). But my heart is into it and in order to commit to it, I should not place myself once again in analysis paralysis again. I TOOK ACTION. Now that it takes extra effort & resource to do such...I have no excuse to fail.
I had searched online for solutions how to get rid of writer's block and the common suggestion is just observe & observe then write & write. Now to hurdle the most difficult task, "What will be my topic and title?"...... Please feel free to comment or suggest. Thank you!
