It's not true that everything that has been said has already been written. Since that unfortunate axiom came into use, the whole universe has changed. Technology has changed, ideas have changed, and the mindsets of entire nations have changed.
The fact is that this is the perfect time to write an ebook. What the publishing industry needs are people who can tap into the world as it is today-innovative thinkers who can make the leap into the new millennium and figure out how to solve old problems in a new way. Ebooks are a new and powerful tool for original thinkers with fresh ideas to disseminate information to the millions of people who are struggling to figure out how to do a plethora of different things.
Let's say you already have a brilliant idea, and the knowledge to back it up that will enable you to write an exceptional ebook. You may be sitting at your computer staring at a blank screen wondering, "why? why should I go through all the trouble of writing my ebook when it's so impossible to get anything published these days?
Well, let me assure you that publishing an ebook is entirely different than publishing a book in print. Let's look at the specifics of how the print and cyber publishing industry differ, and the many reasons why you should take the plunge and get your fingers tapping across those keyboards!
Submitting a print book to conventional publishing houses or to agents is similar to wearing a hair shirt24/7. No matter how good your book actually is, or how many critique services and mentor writers have told you that "you've got what it takes," your submitted manuscript keeps coming back to you as if it is a booming instead of a valuable mine of information.
More on this tomorrow. Please leave your comments, we would love to read them.

Hi Dan & Deanna,
Thanks for the suggestion! It is a possibility that I might entertain in the future!
E-books are the new wave of self publishing!

My favorite is in the begining you said, "It's not true that everything that has been said has already been written." I couldn't agree with you more, and even it something had been said beofre. It hasn't been told your way!
Great post, thank you for sharing.

Giovanna, you are so right that not everything has been said or that we can not contribute to what has already been said. Thank you for your comments.
