Angela Booth: Short Fiction Secrets: How To Write And Sell Short Stories (Selling Writer Strategies Book 2)
Writing short stories is a fun and easy way to get started writing fiction — you can get paid to write, in your spare time. If you're new to writing fiction, you can learn the elements of writing fiction — short stories are much easier to control than longer fiction.

I haven't had much time to play with my Bubbler site, but I had an hour yesterday, and added a new page.

I'm AMAZED at how easy Bubbler is to use, and how much fun. Creating a site with Bubbler is just like blogging, but immensely enhanced. I love the idea that you can get an idea, post it to the site, and you're done.

(And no, I'm not being paid to say this :-))

I love these new instant-publishing apps, Bubbler and Backpack, because they make writing so much easier.

How am I using Backpack? I've got a Backpack home page which lists my projects, the deadlines, and other info. This page opens whenever I open my browser.

I've created around 20 pages, for clients, and for myself, containing notes of information I don't want to forget.

I've also got a page of URLs that I visit fairly often, another page I call Great Stuff -- of well, great stuff. If I get an idea for a project while I'm working on another one, instead of trying to locate files on my computer, I just open Backpack, add the note, and I'm done.

I haven't used the Sharing option yet, but I intend to use it to create a page for each client with my Writing Services Agreement. I can send an invitation to the client to view the page, add "I agree", and the agreement is done, signed and we're good to go.

I'm sure I'll come up with other ideas. I'll let you know. If you're using Backpack or Bubbler too, post your thoughts in the Comments section.
