Createspace Resource: judging a Book by its interior
An engaging plot or main objective hooks readers, but poor design
choices can lose them. Many eBooks allow readers to choose your book's
interior font style and size. That's not the case if you decide to take
your eBook to print.
The most important but unassuming decision authors make when designing print interiors is font. And while there are thousands of fonts available, most print books are designed using just a few.
Check out our designers' professional recommendations, and let CreateSpace turn your Microsoft Word document into a professionally designed print interior.www.createspace.com

26 Amazing Writing Residencies You Should Apply for This Year
It’s
a dream of many writers: to spend time at a quiet colony or residency
where you can focus on your work. But too often the only writers’
colonies we hear about are The MacDowell Colony and Yaddo, prestigious residencies that only accept a tiny percentage of applicants.
The
truth is, there are lots of other wonderful writer’s residencies to
choose from, many of which are less competitive, so you’re more likely
to get accepted.
Our founder, Alexis Grant, enjoyed three highly productive residencies at The Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences,
and she is convinced that a big reason we don’t hear about the
non-MacDowell-level residencies is because the writers who frequent
these places aren’t always digitally savvy; rather than participating in
online communities or blogging, they spend their time writing.
Here are 26 high-quality writing residencies and retreats
you may not know about yet. While some of these are quite selective,
others are a little more open with their admission policies.

Little by Little: How to Achieve Your Goal in a Simple Way
Hi friend,
There are many ideas flowing and swirling around in my head. I’m not special because we all have ideas. There are ideas floating and swimming in your head, every day. Of course, some are great and some are bad.
The thing is, you won't know if they are great or not until you actually bring them to life.
I’ve five (almost finished/ get stuck) books.Do you know why I didn’t finish writing them? It’s because there are many things I want to write about. As I am writing one, another idea pops in, and then I drop it, and go to another.
Do you want to be like me? I guess you don’t want that. Of course, you want to be an achiever. You want to be awesome.
So, how can you be one? It’s simple! Just take it bird by bird. By bird by bird, I mean you should take things one step after another. You have to crawl first before you have to walk. That's the philosophy of life. If you try to do it other way around, then you won't achieve anything.

16 Facebook Groups for Writers You Don’t Want to Miss
Whether you’re a freelancer, a blogger, a fiction writer or
anything in between, we could all use a little company on the sometimes
lonely road known as the writing life.
Maybe you just got your first offer to ghostwrite a book and have no idea what to charge.
Maybe your characters refuse to do what you want them to do (isn’t that
just like them?), and you could use someone to commiserate with. Maybe
it’s after midnight and you’re still up trying to wrestle the words into submission, and you dearly need to be talked down off the ledge.
Whatever the reason, Facebook groups can be a fantastic way for
writers to connect, trade advice, swap war stories and find new
opportunities. Knowing there are other people out there who “get” what
it’s like to be a writer can be a huge comfort, and the chance to share
experience and tips with people on all stages of the writing journey is
invaluable.
So we polled writers to find out which Facebook groups they personally could not live without. (Want to share this list? Click to tweet it.) Here are the results:
1. The Write Life Community
We’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about our own Facebook group! Writers of all experience levels can share their struggles and wins, ask each other questions and otherwise support and encourage the community throughout the writing life.What We Put In, Is What We Get Out
You are about to attract resources, human, financial, material like never before.
I am sure by now; the picture you have envisioned of yourself on December 31st
is getting clearer and hopefully richer. Awesome! That is my desire for
you. I have no doubt in my mind that if you have been listening and
acting on my teachings, that you will achieve your goals.
Why am I speaking so confidently?
Have you ever taken a picture of yourself
and then go back to take a look at the picture only to find the picture
of a fish instead of yours?
Do you think it is possible for that to happen? If it does, what will you think?
Wouldn’t you ask yourself how that picture of a fish got there instead of yours?
I am sure you would, because the camera would only print out the images in its memory.
Well that is how our minds work. What we
put in, is what we get out. We can never get out of our lives what we
have not put in it. this last quarter will favour you.
