Getting Serious About Writing Again. I Just Published a Book About Mental Illness on Amazon. It Feels Good to Be Back Writing Seriously After About Three Years of Sabbaticals and Recovery.

After months of editing and rewriting, I have finally published a book on Amazon based on the posts of this blog, A Life of Mental Illness. I’ll post the links to the book after the book goes live. Unlike my Wisdom of a Hillbilly Scholar book, I decided to make this book both a paperback and an eBook.

In addition to my Mental Illness book, I’m currently in the process of rewriting a novel I rough drafted a dozen years ago. I’m about 40 pages into the rewrite. It will probably be a few months before that novel is ready for publishing. I’m probably going to go through Amazon for that one too.

In addition to the novel I am working on, I’m sorting out ideas for at least two more novels once I get the first one done. I sometimes find inspiration for books, essays, and poems in my dreams. I have made it a point to type out some of these ideas.

Since my health has stabilized and it looks like I’m going to live with my elderly parents for the foreseeable future, I decided to get serious about writing again. Will it make me any real money? Don’t know. But I have already made some money off my writings via Medium, WordPress, and print on demand from my earlier writings. I think I’m doing most of my publishing through Amazon from now on. I’m not going to mess with print on demand, self publishing, or traditional publishers.

    • Thank you for the support. I appreciate it. I plan on trying to put as many as my crazy ideas into book form now that I figured out how to do Amazon ebooks, Amazon print of demand, and Search Engine Opitmazation for my blogs. I’m going to go through as many of my old blog entries as possible as see if there are any good book or novella ideas in these. With over 12 years of archieves and posts, there should be a few good ideas in here.
