Why writing eBooks is fun and makes a great hobby

 


As you know I am a professional writer and have written and published several books, which you can view on my blog here.  EBooks are a completely fun hobby. Because you can write whatever you want to write, whether it’s fiction or non-fiction. Here are 7 reasons writing eBooks are fun:

1. You can go wild into your imagination 

Writing is so much fun and the most powerful way to write is go with your imagination. I was writing a fiction ebook and my imagination was taking me into this big direction and I was like, ‘that’s a bit out there. Would readers appreciate that?’ And then I thought, ‘Let’s just follow where my imagination is taking me.’ And I’m so glad I did.

2. You can write on topics you have experience and knowledge in 

For non-fiction and even fiction ebooks, writing about what you know is going to give you more confidence and give the reader more confidence to know you know what you are talking about. Whether it is, you write about a recruitment consultant in your fiction book because you were once a recruitment consultant and can tell the audience what happens in a day in that role. 

Or perhaps for non-fiction, you talk about your recruitment consultant experience and then wrap it around the subject of your ebook. It means you give your ebook credibility for what you are writing about. 

3. You can write what you want to read 

Writing is so cool. The best part of writing is writing about what you would want to read. Sometimes you can picture yourself as the reader and ask the writer all these questions which you can then add to your eBook. This is how you know you have covered everything in your ebook.

4. You can have fun learning English and writing as you write 

For me, writing is about continually growing. I will be editing my manuscript and then ask myself do I put a comma here or do I add dialogue here? So reading other books can help you work out your grammar and punctuation as well as doing a writing course to help you develop and grow as a writer. 

“You are never too experienced to learn something new.”

5. You get that accomplished feeling once you complete your ebook

There is that fantastic feeling you feel when you finally finish your ebook. I love accomplishing tasks and an ebook is a huge project filled with many tasks. It’s a great feeling to go, I did that. I wrote that book from start to finish. It’s a huge accomplishment. 

6. You can tell others you wrote a book

Ok, I have to admit, it’s pretty cool to tell people. I have written and published several ebooks. As much as it is quite common around the world for people to write ebooks. It is still quite rare that I haven’t met anyone else in Australia personally, in my group channel that have also written and published an ebook. So it’s fun to see people’s face and expressions when you admit you have. 

7. You create time in your day to do something fun and creative 

The best part about writing an ebook, is you have to create time out of your life to do something fun and creative. You are putting yourself first even for just ten minutes. You don’t have to work on your eBook daily or for hours at a time. Just set aside the time that you want to give to yourself and go on a creative journey that will excite you.

Reshuffling my craft space for scrapbooking

When you feel uninspired change up your craft space  So I haven’t been scrapbooking as much because I have a set of drawers with stickers, washi tape and other cool stationery and then I have my tub of scrapbooking paper in my cupboard.  I was thinking about what I could do to bring my scrapbooking closer. Here’s a photo of my tub of scrapbooking paper. Look how undesirable it looks. Inside I have large paper about A4 size and A3. Then I have 12x12 inch paper. Plus an ice cream tub full of scrap paper.  It just made me feel unsatisfied and what makes me excited to work on a hobby is that I can see the resources and get excited to get started. But this set-up was not empowering me. I started brainstorming about maybe making a craft space. I found a table from IKEA with draws on both sides that I could put my scrapbooking paper and accessories in as well as my diamond painting. I also found a desk backing which is like a three level high shelving that attaches to the table....

Crocheting my first blanket and how you can to

Finding a relaxing crochet project for beginners So I decided that crocheting animals etc. is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing it than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant.  Why single crochet blankets don't work without a chain stitch So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled an...
