A LITERARY POSTCARD FROM SOMEWHERE

Seeking a spot of serenity somewhere in repparttar universe, I recently booked a deep-discount dodgy berth on repparttar 128826 ‘White Elephant Express Space Shuttle’, to a little known place in a galaxy far, far away.

“IT” (otherwise known as HD 36405.b) is not your average “oddball” exo-solar planet made of rock that wobbles on its end and zips around a nearby star in less than 2.46 days.

Most linear thinkers have a great deal of difficulty even comprehending why on earth anyone in their “right mind” would be interested in visiting a planet called “IT”. Not being a linear thinker with an investment in repparttar 128827 “right” answer, I didn’t give a hoot. After all, what does one (who walks on water and listens to miffed mortals all day long) do for a frigging night off, now I ask you?

If truth be told, (after reading random excerpts from “The Itty Bitty Bunkum Book About Life, repparttar 128828 Universe and Practically Everything Under repparttar 128829 Sun Not To Mention Stuff Going On In Remote Galaxies), I was simply delirious. According to its noted author, Dr. Jarn Leffer, “IT is a ’must-see’ for those with little time on their hands and a passionate interest in Innocuous Things.”

As planets go, “IT” is a pretty ho-hum celestial pit-stop with perhaps one exception… repparttar 128830 welcome notice that reads, “Cosmic Cowboys - Welcome to repparttar 128831 furthest unexplored outreaches of repparttar 128832 Galaxy … Home to repparttar 128833 Flop Fairy and Oodles of Gadflies!”

“IT” is populated by colonies of giggling, green grasshoppers . What else would you expect to inhabit a far-flung, fantasy-challenged hellhole like this? But, what made “IT” strictly speaking a strange place was repparttar 128834 fact that repparttar 128835 inhabitants munch on green, biodegradable garbage bags just for fun. Lacking masticating capabilities, repparttar 128836 gadflies process their food by vigorously jumping up and down on it. No wonder they have no need for fast-food franchises, strip malls or landfills!

It's an incredible medium for writers and experts who would have before repparttar 128830 Internet needed a publisher or magazine to print and sell their knowledge in book form.

The good news is just about anyone can write an ebook and sell it on repparttar 128831 internet with virtually no cost. If you happen to be an expert on a particular subject then that's a definite plus but you need not be an expert on a subject to write an ebook. If you think that sounds ridiculous, just think back to your school days. How many times were you given an assignment to write a lengthy report on a subject you knew nothing about? I remember writing several reports in high school and college on subjects I knew nothing about. The end result was always a report that read like an expert on repparttar 128832 subject had written it. How did I do it? Research of course. That's how we all did it. That was repparttar 128833 whole purpose of repparttar 128834 assignment. It was teaching you to conduct your own research and fact finding and then compiling that research into a report. You can use this same technique to write an ebook.

I'm going to reveal my age here. I remember way back in repparttar 128835 70's seeing an ad in a magazine for this rather interesting book. It was titled "How to Pick Up Women." It could only be bought through mail order. Unlike most books of repparttar 128836 time repparttar 128837 author of this book had an idea for a book that contained valuable information. Well, it was valuable to a whole lot of young men. The problem was that he was no expert on picking up women. So how did he write repparttar 128838 book? Once again, research. Only this time repparttar 128839 research involved conducting actual interviews with young women. That's right. He just went out and started interviewing repparttar 128840 average woman on repparttar 128841 street. He asked questions like "what attracts you to a man?" and "what characteristics to you find sexy in a man?" Interestingly enough, there were plenty of women who were willing to give a few minutes of their time to answer questions for a book.
