Writing Is A Business

I need to start thinking like a business owner.  As a business owner I need to think of April 15, 2012.

Tax Time.  I am saving all my reciepts and placing them in an envelope.

I bought stamps, ink, pens, calendars.  I saved all the reciepts and put them in the envelope/

I also plan on making an appointment with my tax guy to give him the heads up on what I am doing, so when I do go and get my taxes done next year he will be prepared for me.

So it is never to early to start looking for a tax perparer.  Someone who you trust and know what they are doing.

As you are writing and being creative, make sure when you are spending money you are thinking as a business owner.  You will be wearing many hats once you are published.

If you are self published it is all on you...Someone gave me this advice.

Don't get the IRS mad at you.  Pay your taxes first.

I am going to listen to that advice.

Calling all Self Published Authors

I would love to hear your stories.

1.  Why you chose to be self published

2.  How did you chose where to publish

3.  Are you computer savvy

4.  What are you doing to market your book?

5.  Do you have family and friends support

I want to hear your stories.

Let us help others get published

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
