Retirement is Perfect Time to Write and Reinvent Oneself reports:

“Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 2, 2008 — Have you always wanted to write a novel or memoir but kept putting it off because there just wasn’t time? Retirement is the time to start. Don’t let another day pass making up excuses. Grab the perfect starter’s guide, Marlys Marshall Styne’s ‘Seniorwriting: A Brief Guide for Seniors Who Want to Write’ (ISBN 0741442965, Infinity Publishing 2007).

Many seniors do not plan for retirement. Others find it lacks the enjoyment they anticipated. When Styne lost her husband soon after she retired, she began writing to overcome the loneliness, depression, and self-doubt she faced. She soon found meaning in her life and that joy could be experienced again. Her discoveries from writing led to the publication of her first book ‘Reinventing Myself: Memoirs of a Retired Professor’ and then her desire to help other seniors ‘reinvent’ themselves, discover the joys and benefits of writing and pass their stories along to their families. ‘Seniorwriting’ is the fruition of that desire.

‘Seniorwriting’ speaks in non-technical terms and provides guidelines to transform memories into written words, whether on paper or the computer. Rather than rules or formulas, it presents suggestions and choices to encourage confidence and creativity.The book is compact, user-friendly, and divided into three sections. Styne begins by answering the question, ‘Why Write?’ with such reasons as discovery, healing, rejuvenation and enjoyment. She provides suggestions for getting started, and asks the reader questions to stimulate writing topics.

Ten examples are provided in the second section on how to recreate experiences and memories as written words. Journal assignments encourage observation, family stories, imagination, and recording of favorite memories. The third section helps aspiring writers transform their words from a rough draft to an organized, revised, edited and proofread final manuscript. The section includes detailed suggestions for publishing as well.

Styne wants readers to learn what she has learned–that writing provides new perspectives, clarification, and a sense of life’s meaning. ‘Seniorwriting’ is inspiring and beneficial to anyone who wants to write, but the senior will find it especially helpful for personal concerns and leaving behind a written memorial for future generations. As Styne reminds us on her website with a favorite George Eliot quote, ‘It is never too late to be who you might have been.’”

Of course, you don’t have to wait until you retire. Anyone can find 20 minutes a day to write. And if you write for 20 minutes a day, that’s a couple of pages. At the end of a year, you have a book.

Discover Private Label Rights (PLR) , a sizzling HOT new way to make money as a writer

The basic idea of PLR content is that it’s content which is sold to people to edit, mash up, or use directly on their Web sites. PLR content may be articles, ebooks, reports, or even audio. It’s CONTENT - stuff for Web sites - in its generic form.

If you can write ten PLR articles in a week, you can make $4000 a week

Sounds weird, but it’s true. Many writers are already cashing in on PLR, and you can too.

Can you write a book a year? It may be necessary for you to do that to achieve success.

Books | The book factory: Authors pressured to crank them out | Seattle Times Newspaper reports:

“In the various suspense genres — serial killers, international conspiracy, romance suspense and traditional detective fiction — the public’s memory can be short. ‘If you don’t write a book a year, it might not be devastating, but it helps to keep your face out there,’ said thriller writer David Baldacci, who says he doesn’t mind the pace.”

In popular genres, a book a year is nothing new. You need to be able to write fast and well.

If you’re a new writer, a book a year can seem intimidating. However, you can build up to it. It’s vital that you write, and keep on writing, even before your first book sells.

There’s BIG money in ebooks - just read how much money you can make by writing and selling ebooks.

However, the ebooks which sell best are non-fiction, because people visit the online world for information.

That said, I know several writers who are blogging their fiction, and others who serialize their fiction via email. Virtual Tales sends 1500-word installments of novels to email subscribers.

And they’re looking for writers.

Virtual Tales - Becoming an
Author for Virtual Tales reports:

“We are currently looking for complete novels or novellas of at least 20,000 words to sell through the Virtual Tales website and other partner sites in eSerial, eBook and print formats. We will also consider the following:

Short story collections with a strong central theme
Reprints of previously published works, including previously published print versions (or those currently published print editions outside of North America), so long as the author owns the electronic rights to the story and North American print rights
Previously published eSerials (through defunct sites such as KeepItComing.net)”

So if you’re writing a novel, serialize it. You can’t lose. It avoids the slush pile. If the novel becomes popular, no doubt a traditional publisher will pay you for the print version.

Great idea… wish I had time to write a novel this year.
