Don't Know What To Write?

   Don't know what you should write? Read! Reading always helps to get inspiration! Whenever I can't figure out what to write, or what one of my characters should say in one scene I read a few scenes from my favorite books.
That usually helps me get in the 'writing mood.'
Also Googling certain things to help me figure out what to say (write) helps too. I had a small case of Writer's Block the other day and this helped a ton!

How to Descibe a Character's Looks Well

   We all have trouble describing the characters in our books, right? Well, I had a problem today and Googled, "How to Describe a Book Character" and this came up: How to Describe a Character's Looks Well

   Just thought I'd share it with you :) I know we all have writer's block, and I know we all have trouble describing, or wording things, so I just wanted to help by posting the link to the website I used. It was a lot of help!!!

   Enjoy!!!

2 Publishers Accepting Unsolicited Manuscripts & A "Publisher" To Stay Away From

   You always want to do research on publishers and literary agencies before you query them. There are multiple ways you can do that, for one (this is what I do 'cause I go in the bookstore "A LOT") you can look at the books that they've sold, or are representing. If you reccognize one as a best seller than you should go for it! Another way is you can Google them, I'd suggest both if you're just starting out.

   But anyways, here are two publishers that are accepting submissions.

   Entangled Publishing

   Sourcebooks

   Send some submissions!!! Take a chance, you'll never know!

   And now a warning. I recently sent a manuscript submission to Dorrance Publishing without researching them and found out that they're a big, fat phony publisher. They're just out to get your money. So stay AWAY from them!
   See? This is what happens when you don't research a publisher. You can get stuck with someone that's out to get your money and won't do anything to help premote your book, or is just a bad publisher. Watch out for this stuff!!!

   Here's a link for the different types of publishers: Types of Publishing Companies
