What is Readercoin?

Haven’t so many of us wished to get paid to read? Readercoin seems to be the answer to those prayers. Readercoin is a new app that lets you earn its eponymous cryptocurrency by listening to and reading books. I'm so enamored with this app that I just had to share it with you all. It's perfect for someone like me, who has a demanding schedule and little time to read for pleasure. Cryptocurrency? You know, like Bitcoin, except this isn't Bitcoin. It's a currency that's generated by the time you spend reading and listening. I am not, nor do I pretend to be, an expert on how it works. I refer you to the FAQs for that. What I can tell you cryptocurrency can be exchanged for rewards like Amazon gift cards or PayPal at a usual exchange rate of 1,000 Readercoins for one US dollar.

Most you can have access to wifi as you work. Best of all, t...

Beating Editor’s Block While Revising Your Novel

First off, you’ve written a short story or a novel. Congratulations! That’s a huge accomplishment. Now that you’ve written that novel, what do you do with it? It’s time to edit it. But editing something you’ve written can be a daunting task. Whether you think what you’ve written is the next best seller or you found it to be horrible in the light of day, it needs to be editing. So what do you do when you have the editor’s equivalent of writer’s block? Here are some ways I’ve found to beat editor’s block: Just get away from it. Just like when you are writing and have writer’s block, staring at the same words will get you nowhere. Go work on some other story or do something that’s not writing related. Get some other eyes on it. Others will spot things that you haven’t, especially as you’ve spent so much time looking at it. It’s easy to miss things. Read it start to finish after you’ve put some distance between your story and you. Make notes as you go. It’ll hel...
