You're so over calling it "writer's block," and are ready to start feeling inspired to create your next great project. We all know that simply sitting down at the keyboard and putting in effort is the first rule to getting any writing done. Then why is it important to feel inspired?

Kindle Unlimited is essentially Amazon's all-you-can eat digital service. If you subscribe to it you get access to thousands of e-books for free as long as they are part of KDP Select, a service that Amazon offers authors. KDP Select isn't amazingly valuable but it does allow you to "give away" your book for a brief period — a trick that used to get Indie fiction to the top of Amazon's bestseller lists (but no longer) — and set up pre-orders.
