Excerpt:Answers to the questions and comments from blog readers. Five House Publishing.
I have received many questions from visitors to my website. The questions range from, How do I write good blog posts? I want to start blogging; where do I start? I would like to improve my writing and general blogging skills? Any advice?
To provide some advice and ideas on blogging and writing, I have reflected on my own journey over the past 3 to 4 years.
How I started off – publishing most of my academic work.
I started my writing and publishing about 3 years ago. I received a year of study leave, and I had some extra time that year. So, I looked at all my academic work that sat on my computer. I took the first completed assignment and adapted it into an ebook. I used Canva – online graphic design software to produce attractive – front and back covers for my eBooks. I then taught myself to write short, exciting synopsis' for all the eBooks. Then I published it to the D2D platform.
Sketches:See the image of one of my ebooks on sketching and using watercolours. Read more about drawing with a fountain pen and watercolours in my blog posts. For example, My notebook and the benefits of sketching. Title: 'Sketching regularly with a fountain pen and watercolours could change your life: Boosting your health, mental health and wellbeing.
See several sketches from the author's notebook.
Caption: Author's sketchbook. The innocent and adorable Lulu with a glass of wine in her hand on the left and the strong, well-built Scarlett adorns the first page of my sketchbook. Practice, practice, and practice are key to mastering new techniques and ideas. Reference Page 69 & 85.
See the watercolour sketch in the blog post. Here is the caption. From my sketchbook - ink and watercolours (a quick sketch). Short story: Ancient Leviathan finally rolls over – 5000 fathoms under the sea – and reveals its secrets.
