Writers Write

Published or unpublished, doesn't matter.  If you don't write, you are not a writer.  I read Scott Eagan's Blog every day.  http://www.scotteagen.blogspot.com/  He is running a contest this month.  What struck me was the fact that when he announced the contest, he already had  three entries that he posted.

People are out there writing, no matter what.  What are you doing?  I know that it is not easy and would be easier to eat a bag of chips and watch a movie, but if you have the desire to see your name in print, your book at the bookstore, you need to write.

So as I am writing this blog, someone is working on their book.  While I am clicking from website  to website, some one is sending out a query letter. 

So this is just something to think about, when you don't want to write. 

I am still getting up early to write.  This is what I want to do.

Are you writing? 

Let me know.  We are in this together.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
