You’ve read countless ads for e-books online, promising to reveal the secret of never-ending wealth, happiness and success. You’ve pondered writing some yourself, but were discouraged because you couldn’t find a topic that wasn’t saturated and hadn’t been “done to death”. Writing e-books is no small undertaking. Even if you’re just “borrowing” ideas to repackage and re-present them, there is still a lot of work and planning involved in the process. After a while, it can become downright tedious. So what can you do to avoid e-book burnout?
Write them for fun instead of profit.
There’s an old saying that goes, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”. This is true for writing, too. Write what you enjoy and it won’t seem like work at all. It’s so easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day monotony that comes with stiff business writing. You need a little change of direction from time to time.
Pick any topic that you’re passionate about and versed in. It can be about anything, anything at all – from poems and prose to fairytales to a set of memoirs. Put it all together in an e-book and put it up on your site for people to download. You can decide to charge for it or opt not to. It doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you enjoy doing it. Not only are you creating yet another sample of your work, you might even generate a few dollars from it along the way!
