SERIES: Desire to Self-Publish INTRODUCTION

I think there are those of us in the “craft world” maybe ALL of us who create have this inner desire and passion to publish ……. something. We want to show others what our inspirations look like.

Even as the digital age grows there is no loss in the book publishing industry to publish craft books, it thrives and one area it does is in the world of crafts.

All my publications are on the Internet, I am a big believer in doing my-own-thing if you will and the Internet allows me to do that….and at minimal cost! The cost factor is why I chose to publish digitally in the first place.

There are many “how-to’s” and probably how-to “How-To!” publications out there with step-by-step “steps”. I’m not suggesting that how-to’s are not helpful, they are. If your drive is to publish at some point you will need to document your inspiration and have a place to capture that documentation as well as where to actually publish what you documented. Make sense?

I want to talk about something else entirely. Something that is more ethereal in nature. Or, broken down into its parts:

e (is) the (inspiration) real (real) = Is the Inspiration Real?

Does your inspiration have what can be identified as having Legs? Maybe others you have shown it too, have asked you to make one for them or how they could make it themselves? Does your inspiration have a physical place to be, a store shelf perhaps? Or a digital pattern, on a website? Or, do you seek a large Publisher to be shown in a book for those that seek such things?

If your answer is yes, then I encourage you to follow along as I share what I have learned publishing my CROCHET inspirations, what characteristics “IN YOU” that will profoundly help and move you forward in your craft.
