inAfter continuing to have a large number of people asking me how to write and publish a book, I decided to write a book about it. I also decided to add more information than just writing and publishing a book.
My book shows you all the steps on how to write, publish, and promote your book by yourself. It also shows you how to set up your author website, author email, author facebook page, and your author central page on Amazon.
So as you can see, this book contains more than just information about writing and publishing a book.
It is for sale on Amazon, and is available on Kindle and on Paperback .
Kindle Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083RK741J
Paperback Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1659208718
This is the way I write and publish a book, and my hope is that this book will be helpful to you.
~ Have a great day! ~

inWriting during a storm, or as I call it Storm Writing, can be a challenge. The noise of the thunder and the flash of the lightning is distracting. It can make you lose your train of thought, and make it hard to concentrate on your writing. Then the blowing of the wind and the pounding of the rain begins, and this noise seems to help your train of thought for a while. And when you think you’re back on track and able to write again, the power goes out. Now the clouds move in and your room is in darkness. Oh, the joys of Storm Writing!
But don’t lose your need to write. Continue writing by using the storm to your advantage. The noise of the thunder, the flash of the lightning, the blowing of the wind, the pounding of the rain and even the darkness can be an inspiration if you let it. Depending on what you are writing about you can use these to add character and inspiration to it.
For example, if you are working on writing a book you might add a part that has a storm in it. Use your feelings about the storm you are now experiencing as a guide. You might feel frightened or uneasy, or the storm might make you feel calm. Whatever the feelings are that the storm brings to you can be added into your story.
Are you working on an article or a blog post? Use the storm for inspiration.
The Storm takes a break from all the thunder, lightning, wind and rain. The power comes back on, and the clouds move off. Now is the time to close your eyes and take a break, while you organize your thoughts. You might want to do this before the storm comes back for round two like you know it will.
Use the storm to your advantage. It may turn out to be one of the best stories, articles or blog posts you have ever written. You won’t know unless you try it out.
Now you can see that writing during a storm can be inspiring and fun if you allow it to be!

inThe following is part of an article I wrote and posted on Medium. Note that the article is written under “Teri Corwin”, not under my pen-name TSteel.
Your eyes are important no matter what field of work you are in, and to a writer they are an important tool. That is why you need to do all you can to keep them healthy.
As a writer, you use your eyes more than you might realize. You use your eyes for reading, research, and writing. All these activities put added stress on them, so you need to take some extra precautions to take care of them.
I also added some tips and ways to keep your eyes healthy.
Thanks for reading this!!

The Holidays are a time for giving, and with that in mind, I decided to share some of my ideas with you. I’ve done this with my grandchildren and they loved the gifts. I’ve also done this with adults, and they were inspired to write too.
This year, how about getting back to the basics of writing. If you have an inspiring writer on your list, they might enjoy this. Or, if you have someone you’re just trying to inspire to write, here’s an idea for them too.
My list of basic writing tools for any writer:
Think of the person you’re giving the gift to, for inspiration on choosing the right gift. If I was choosing one for an adult (or myself) it would be a “leather-bound journal”. There’s nothing quite like the smell and feel of a leather journal to inspire writing!
Who knows what type of writer these gifts might inspire!
Don’t forget to get yourself a little something to inspire your own writing during the Holidays!

inHere are two forms of marking your journal, to make it easier to locate something you’ve written, that I found to be interesting:
The first one I came across was an interesting blog on “journal tagging”. I was intrigued and began to search journal tagging, to see what else I could find out about it. Well, there wasn’t very much information at all. What I did find usually was written almost exactly like the first article I was directed to.
Here’s the link to the above mentioned article:

Title: Writing Tip-Tagging Your Notebook
This is a link to the other site I found on this style:
http://www.highfivehq.com/
If you decide to try this, be sure to use the right form of notebook, or your marks won’t line up. The type of notebook you need has a glue or solid type binding.
Here is a photo for an example of this type of binding:
The second style of marking your journal I came across was on “Bullet Journals”. This is also an interesting way to mark your journal, but it is more “in-depth” than the above way. As I searched this style, I discovered there is a lot of information on this one. There are many different ways to do this one, depending on what you want to use it for. There are some listed that are for writers, with many different variations on this style too. There was a website that is listed as: Bullet Journal, and appears to be a popular site. This style can be used with binding that has slip-in pages, or tied type binding. It looks to me like this style actually could be used with any type of binding.
This is the website I mentioned above:
http://bulletjournal.com/
These are two other sites I found to be interesting:
http://thewingedpen.com/
Article: Bullet Journals for Writers
http://peneloperedmont.com/
Article: Book Journaling Tips (Make Writing Easier and More Fun)
This is an example of a different type of binding:
As I mentioned above, be sure to use the right kind of notebook (specifically the binding it has).
If you have a different way of marking your journal let me know, I’d love to hear about it!

inRecently I came across a notebook that I’d used for some of my early stories. I’ve always been interested in different paper notebooks, and if I see a stack of them someplace, I can’t help but pause and take a look. I find myself doing this even if I’m not looking for a new notebook, and even if I don’t really need one. There’s just something about that smell of a new notebook (and a new writing tool), that makes me feel calm.
I couldn’t get the notebook I had found out of my mind, and it wasn’t long before I was online looking up “notebooks”. There is so much information on notebooks, from the old leather ones, to the cheap paper ones. Whether this is some new idea going around, or more of us “notebook users” are posting about them, I don’t know.
Here’s an article I found on WordPress. It talks about setting up and using a “bullet journal”. This is an interesting (and fairly new) concept to me. As of today, I haven’t set one up to use, but I do plan on doing this with my next new notebook.
https://ateawithtumnus.wordpress.com/2017/02/07/my-bullet-journal-scatter-brain-meets-organization/
If you find any interesting articles on notebooks, or tips for using them, let me know. I’m always looking for a reason to get a new notebook! ((smile))

I was reading others blogs and I came across this article from May 2016. It was on old fashioned/vintage tools for writing. I found it to be interesting and thought I’d share it with you.
It begins with talking about how so many writers have computers, ipads, and smartphones, and that they’re important to have now. Then it goes on to discuss fountain pens, and lists another article to find more information on them.
I enjoy writing with fountain pens- but only as a “relaxing hobby”. That’s not to say I wouldn’t love to have a ton of them around to use at my leisure.
The article then discusses old typewriters, and tells a little story about the early use of one. This brought back memories of my writing that was done a typewriter. Sadly to say, I no longer have any of those papers. So, yes I’m glad to have a computer now!
There’s a brief part about using a notebook (the paper kind) to write with. It shows a nice picture of a leather bound notebook, with a link on where to get one.
Seeing the leather journal, brings up fond memories for me. Sometimes I still take out a paper journal and write. I find this to be relaxing, and the smell of a leather one is in its own way a stimulant to my writing endeavors.
If you find these things bringing you memories, then I recommend reading the article.
Below is the link to the original article.
