C H A P B O O K. A chapbook is traditionally thought of as a small handcrafted book containing a collection of poetry, but that's not all that a chapbook can be. And in fact, the workshop inspired me to reconsider how I wanted to create my cancer memoir guidebook. And I'm going to use that concept of a small book, a chapbook if you will, for ovarian cancer. Now that might seem a little out of the box and probably it is. And that's fine because my tip for today is taking inspiration from another source to create something new. And here is a word that you may not be familiar with. Ekphrastic means taking inspiration from another medium to create something else. For instance, ekphrastic poetry is inspired by a painting, or it could be inspired by a piece of music or vice versa. The music could be inspired by a poem. The painting could be inspired by a poem. So do you see what I'm doing here? I'm taking a twist on how can you break through those stuck places in your creativity for your book marketing? Maybe you've just been focused a little too hard on The outcome rather than how am I going to share my message and why is my message important and what really lights me up. So if you're stuck, do something different, put on some music. Take a walk outside. Move around. All of those things can start shaking up those stuck parts of our brains. And I want you to be successful with your book marketing. Take a tip from me, doing something different can put you into a more creative space where you can have fun and reinvigorate what you are saying to people.
