When a video of ducks crossing a road receives millions of views on You Tube, it causes me both despair and envy. When a poorly written book of unoriginal and unimaginative content sells millions of copies, I feel genuine happiness for the author, but it is tinged once more with despair and envy. Just being honest here.
However, despair and envy can be strong motivators, and for me they are. My determination swells like a tsunami, so today I am celebrating one more mustard seed: the advent of Square Pegs E-Zine. The latest and potentially greatest in a long line of grabs for fame. A little e-zine which may produce enormous success.
There are fifty quintillion online short story magazines, so what hope has another of becoming successful? Square Pegs E-Zine is different. Firstly, potential contributors have to join/follow my blog. Secondly, payment for publication is a PDF copy of one of my novels, and finally, submission guidelines are available in a short video. (Ironically, Duotrope refused to list Square Pegs E-zine if it only had video submissions guidelines, so I had to put them in text as well.)
Let's see how this latest attempt to reach the glorious heights of fame and fortune goes. Wish me luck!
Fame on social networks is a pretty slippery eel to grasp. But I'm glad to see you're motivated. Good luck with E-Zine!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how hard it must be to make it as a writer. If you've been able to have an original idea and have taken all that time to actually write a book then it must be terrible to have it rejected. I think your idea of an E-Zine is a good one and wish you lots of luck :) Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
