Be That Writer update

This is a special update from Be That Writer. Be That Writer would like to offer you a friendly, inspirational challenge.

Be That Writer would like you to take part in the following exercise. Look around you and see what you can see. Pick up on one item and write between 50 and 150 words on that item.

If you wish, you can send the finished written article to Be That Writer in the form of a comment to this article. Or you can keep it and see if you can use it as the basis for a saleable article. And before you dismiss this idea, consider this: G.K. Chesterton once wrote an article for a newspaper entitled: "What I found in my pocket."

There's no time limit to this exercise and no prizes. Please have fun with this.

New facility for readers of Be That Writer

There are many books available for the aspiring and the more experienced writer. But if we are not careful we can spend far too much of the income we generate from writing on buying such books.

We can guard against this unfortunate event by buying our books wisely. Such as buying from Amazon who do stock a wide range of books of great interest and worth to us writers.

Be That Writer has introduced an Amazon search box/sales facility which you will find on the right hand side of Be That Writer.

Be That Writer hopes you will enjoy using this facility. Will Be That Writer earn any income from such sales? Be That Writer certainly hopes so, as this will help defray the costs of running the site!
