I would like to introduce you to two sites, actually three that got me rolling. If you decide to sign up at any of them, I would love it if you would PM me and I could send you a referral link. Either way, they are Helium, Associated Content, and Gather. All three pay for your writing and are a great place to get started. Interested in any of them, send me a message and I will get you the full information. Best of luck on your writing.

the biggest tip anyone can give to you for this is go pic up a pen, and write!!! there are things happening all around you and things goping on inside you that you can write about if you just put out 5m to do it in.

I just wish I could really give you very good tips but as it is, I am as lost as you. LOL! So I will just wish you happy writing and may your work will be published one day.

If you are interested in publishing a book I would go to book signings and ask authors questions and also go to workshops. If there are any free ones in your area, you should check them out.
