The Pros and Cons of Blogging a Completed Manuscript

It’s not uncommon for writers with completed manuscripts to want to blog their projects. In their quest for ways to promote their work, they discover the “blog-a-book” concept and think it might work well even though they will skip a major step in the process. They won’t write, publish and promote their work but rather […]

Should You Blog Your Finished Manuscript?

Many writers who discover the benefits of blogging a book after they finish writing their manuscript are tempted to put this process to use at that late date.

Will Someone Really Steal Your Idea If You Blog Your Book?

theif stealing online content from a computer

If I had a dollar for each time an aspiring author voiced a concern about his or her blogged book idea getting stolen or actual blog content getting pirated, I’d be rich by now. This fear is similar to the one harbored by a person I know who won’t allow agents to look at his […]

It takes energy and fortitude to make a book successful

Last night, or rather this morning, at about 2 a.m., I was answering interview questions for a piece that would appear on someone’s blog. It was a very long interview–23 questions–that I should have completed about two weeks ago. I’d answered many of the questions many times before for other people. Then I came across […]

Many aspiring authors and bloggers put off starting their projects while contemplating one big issue: using their real name on their work. The debate whether or not to use a pseudonym or a pen name. To me, this issue comes down to fear. Sometimes the fear has sound basis. Sometimes not. These are things to […]

C.C. Chapman on Blogging vs. Blogging a Book

Writers like to write. They don’t like to promote or build platform. That’s why I encourage them to blog and to blog their books. As they blog, they actually promote themselves and their work—and build platform. Why? Because they are producing content. Search engines love content. And readers want content—especially content that solves their problems, […]
