How to Beat the Winter Blues by Writing a Book

How often do you find yourself stuck in the house on them cold winter days, suffering from the winter blues? I bet you said quite often, if you did then your answer is like that of most people during the winter months. I want you to stop right now and think about what you just read, if you do find yourself stuck in the house during the winter with nothing to do, you should consider yourself very lucky. Most people are always complaining that they don't have enough time in the day to get things done. So, accordi
fff
ng to a lot of folks, if you have nothing to do in the winter because your stuck inside, you are indeed a very lucky person.
Now, if this is true and you find yourself in the winter with nothing to do, and you need an idea to beat the winter blues, why not take up a great activity like using this time to write a book. Make some coffee, or your favorite beverage, grab a notebook and a pencil and start writing down an idea for your book. You can write a book of poems, or rhymes, or a biography about your life as a child to an adult, or a tale of horror, or whatever you want to write about.
By the time spring comes around, you can have your book done and ready to be edited, and published. These days there are some great options that allow anyone to publish and sell a book. You can send the completed manuscript to a book publisher that is highly known, and hope for the best, but as they say it is sometimes very hard for a new author to get published this way, but it does happen. You can send it to one of the many online self publishers, and have it turned into a book right away. Years ago these types of publishers called vanity publishers were not very reputable, and they often charged a high up-front fee from the author to publish the book, based upon the number of books published.
Now days the idea of a vanity publisher, or self-publishing as it's called has changed 100%, as it's rapidly becoming the way to have a book published. There are some great online self-publishing companies, and they do not even charge a fee, unless you want to purchase a marketing campaign for the book. These companies will publish and sell your book right through their online website store. For each copy of the book sold, they will get a fee or commission, and you will make some money too. These books are often picked up by other online businesses, and you can even have your self-published book sold through such sites as Amazon, and others. So, this winter when you find yourself stuck inside on them cold days or nights, get writing down your thoughts and ideas and write a book, it's a great way to help beat the winter blues.
