How to write for eye
Make it concise.
Use variation, repetition is boring.
Proper sentence for narration, realistic sentence for dialog.
Must flow smoothly. Use cliff hangers.
1. Publish on your own blog (Google AdSense, paid review, advertisement, etc.)
2. Self publish, sell it yourself.
3. Self publish, sell it in Lulu.com, Spotbit.com, Amazon.com, etc.
But, nobody wants to publish my work!
So, it’s not “is there any publisher suits my work”?
It’s … “do you have any work”?
