I've been a blogger for almost 4 years and have been a member here for a long time because I wanted to write a book. I had a difficult time deciding what to write about because my blog, Connect with your Teens through Pop Culture and Technology, didn't have enough evergreen posts to become a book. Yet I knew if I wrote a book it had to be related to my niche so that I could use my platform to sell it. After beginning and throwing out ideas that interested me but weren't good book topics, I finally stumbled upon my book - the benefits of video games.

I just self-published The Gamer Generation: Reaping the Benefits of Video Games last week. I decided to go the self publishing route because the topic is very timely and new if I went traditional, if I was lucky enough to get a contract, it could be 2 years before I got published. And I hated the idea of a book proposal. 

It has only been a week so I have no idea how it will do, but I love having the word author attached to my name, and especially in the niche that I already write about on my blog.

Hi All, I've been on She Writes for a while now, but just joined this group because I want to take the essays I've been writing on my blog, Don't Put Lizards In Your Ears, and produce a collection someone besides my mother would actually pay for and read. I've got tons to learn. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

It's my favorite day of the week so I'm celebrating by holding my first ever Improbable Photo Caption Contest.

The winner will receive a $20 Amazon gift card -- ABSOLUTELY NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

This is purely my way of celebrating creativity and having fun. All you have to do is take a look at this Thursday's Picture of the Week and submit your best caption into the comment box.

My blog is: The Art of an Improbable Life

Next Thursday (Oct. 13th) I will select the winning caption and announce it on the blog. The person with the most creative caption will be emailed a $20 gift card from Amazon.

I hope you will take part.

Good Luck!
Becky
