A Writer's Life

I finished another episode of Zombie Zoo.  I sent it off to get formatted.  I should get it sometime next week.  I wrote through the holidays and finished the second episode.  It can be done. If your goal for the new year is to get published, I want you to know that it is possible.  I am living proof. I want to help you get published this year.  You do not need a publisher or agent.  You can do it yourself.  I did and I am selling books on amazon.com  So if you have any questions or need some encouragement.  Let me know.  I am willing to tell you what I did and help you if I can. I plan on wriitng another novel and 6 more episodes of Zombie Zoo.  Get Published in 2012 Ask me your questions..... My E-Books are 99 cents each Zombie Zoo   www.amazon.com/dp/B006K7CVLS Always And Forever  www.amazon.com/dp/B006M8PAOA My bible--My Gos  www.amazon.com/dp/B006N0ZDGW http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com/ http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

I am editing my second episode of Zombie Zoo.  I always print out a hard copy and reread it and make corrections on paper and then go to the computer.  This time I started on the hard copy and decided to turn my computer on.  Finished on the computer.  I still printed out a hard copy.  I will reread it and then make changes onto the computer.  I know I am wasting alot of paper and ink, but this is what I do. How do you edit????  Paper or On Computer???? I am happy to say that the sale of my e-books are doing well.  E-Books  Only 99 Cents Zombie Zoo  www.amazon.com/dp/Boo6K7CVLS Always And Forever  www.amazon.com/dp/B006M8PAOA    Romance Novel My Bible--My God  www.amazon.com/dp/B006N0ZDGW   My Walk with GOD http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com/ http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

The new year is upon us.  I have three e-books on line and two in print books.  I sold a few books over the holidays to customers at work and people are buying my books on line. I opened a savings account to put all the money I make from my book into a seperate account.  Why??/  I don't want my writing money to get lost with my money from my paycheck. Also it will make tax time more easy.  I will know excatly how much I made and the date of deposit and them my reciepts will be in an envelope for what I spent on my writing.  It is simple to keep track of money you made and money you spent throughout the year, if you put a little effort into it.  You do not want to make the IRS mad at you.  Pay your taxes. So I think I am ready for the new year.  I am very excited about 2012. Get organized and keep keep track of the money you make during the year for your writitng.

Yesterday I took the time to organize and throw things away.  Tax time is around the corner.  Now is the time to find everything.  Get those reciepts in an envelope and start saving reciepts when 2012 come rolls around in a few days. Doesn't matter how you organize things.  It is your choice.  I know this older gentleman.  He was wealthy and he kept all of his reciepts in an old shoe box.  That was his system.  Everything was in the shoebox.  When tax time came he took the shoe box to his tax man.  It worked for him. I keep my reciepts in an envelope.  My aunt owned a restraunt.  She had a piece of wood with a nail pounded in it.  She stuck all her reciepts on that nail.  When her accountant came she just handed him the piece of wood.  It worked for her. All that matters is that you save all your reciepts of what you spend and what you make.  It is that simple. It helps if you have a tax person that you trust.  I go to the same tax person every year.  He supports my caree

I am excited about 2012  I have 3 books on line and couldn't be more thrilled. I am already working on the second episode of Zombie Zoo.  http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com/ I plan on having 6 episodes on line by the end of the year.  I also plan on having a book on how the plague could happen in the suburbs, by that person that is up all night working in his guarge at night.  That will be finished by October if all goes well. What are your goals for 2012???? I will write everyday no matter what.  I will have more writing on line, cause that is what I do. This is the year of the Zombie, and I welcome the new year. www.amazon.com/dp/B006K7CVLS Always And Forever  www.amazon.com/dp/B006M8PAOA My Bible--My God  www.amazon.com/dp/B006N0ZDGW 99 Cents Each  as E-Books http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com/

Ever since I have put my Zombie Zoo  on line.  www.amazon.com/dp/B006K7CVLS    I have been carrying a notebook to work, and I don't care who sees me write or what others think.  I carry my notebook everywhere I go.  On breaks, on lunch.  Once a co-worker asked me if I was writing a book and I proudly said yes.  That shut him up.  He wasn't ready for that answer. I jot down ideas or just think and write down what I am thinking.  It works, when I get home I have been thinking all day that I am ready to write when I get home.  I am more productive.  I have other story ideas written down and I am not wasting time. No writers block for me.  After Christmas, I will never have an excuse to writ  cause I am writing at work and at home.  What are your goals for 2012? http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com/ www.amazon.com/dp/B006M8PAOA   Always and Forever www.amazon.com/dp/B006N0ZDGW   My Bible--My God www.amazon.com.dp/B006K7CVLS   Zom

If you have any questions and I can help you from what I learned I will tell you what I learned.  I just want to say Merry Christmas  & Happy New Year.

 I need to get out of my bubble and let the world know that I am a writer.  I was at work, and writing in my notebook.  a co-worker came in the breakroom and asked in I was writing a book.  I know that he was being funny, but I said, yes I am and that shut him up.  Then he started asking me questions about my writing and I told him.  He was surprised that I was a writer, but he was also impressed. So don't be afraid to admit that you are a writer or be afraid to tell people that you are a writer.  You never know where it will lead. I told a customer that I was a writer and gave her a business card and she bought 20 books from me, as Christmas gifts.  If I didn't admit that I was a writer, I would not of sold 20 books.  I went to amazon.com and all three of my books are there when you put my name in.  3 books in one year how cool is that?

I have been selling books this weekend.  I have been handing out business cards to whoever I meet.  I am not an outgoing person.  I don't like to be noticed or talk to people.  If I am going to be an indie writer I need to promote myself.  So I have my business cards and hand them out.  I work in a bakery and I talk to my customers that I see everyday and give them my business cards.  A lot of people are impressed that I wrote a book.  No one has said anything bad or acted like I was stupid. One of my customers ordered 14 books on line and then she bought 5 books from me and had me autograph them for me.  I put in the postcards I had ordered and business cards in the book.  She is giving them as Christmas presents and was thrilled to know a writer.  My dream has come true.  I am a writer.  I am selling books.  I am autographing books and I am not stopping.  2012 is going to be my year and I will write another book and get it on line.

I just wrote 5,000 words.  I woke up, got up and started writing.  I had what I wanted to do and didn't stop till I finished.  So I am feeling pretty good.  I know that I haven't written that much this week.  I have been making notes and thinking.  This morning, I got up and knew what to write.  So now I am back in the writing mode. Sometimes I need a few days to think. My book Alway and Forever   www.createspace.com/3681119    has only been out for a couple of weeks and I have sold 5 books so far and I am excited. I wrote a short story that hopefully will be on Kindle next week as soon as I get the file back I will up load it. My first book My Bible--My God   www.createspace.com/3614885   I sold about 20 books and glad about that so I have been busy. I am working on the next episode of the short story, that will be up in February if all goes well. So I am not stopping, I am writing and will not stop writing. I am patting myself on the back thrilled to be selling

I have been slacking in my writing this week.  Yesterday I woke up with a terrible headache, so I didn't get much writing done.  I am still getting over my excitement of selling my books, and that is no excuse.  I am trying to be honest with you, that no one is perfect, and everyone has to find their wiritng rythem, cause there is no right way to write and no wrong way.  we all have to find our own schedule. I am waiting for my short story, e-book to be formatted and hopefully I won't have any problem uploading it.  Then in 2 months I will have another short story out.  I will have 6 short stories up in 2012. I also would like to have another book in print and e-book.  So that is a lot of writing.  I need to get busy.  I am busy at work and just plain tired.  That is no excuse.  I need to get back on schedule. Do you have a writing schedule???? Let me know what it is. Always And Forever www.createspace.com/3681119 My Bible--My God www.createspace.com/3614885

I recieved my first royality check.  I have my book My Bible--My God  www.createspace.com/3614885 in a book store in Texas  The Prinecess Bookshop on the riverwalk.  I sold two books there.  I made a copy of the check and will frame it. My first royality check.  Who knew that someone would want to read my book, let alone someone would buy my book.  Always And Forever  www.createspace.com/3681119   http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

I didn't get much writing done today, cause I was to excited about my sales and I kept checking my sales report.  That is never a good idea to keep checking it, doesn't get you anywhere. So now I have to get serious again and get back to get writing.  So you never know what is going to happen, so you never should give up.  It snowed to today.  The weather channel said rain and it snowed.  Not happy at all.  I hate snow.  So I need to get back to writing. Have a great day.

I sold 17 books this month.  I am very excited.  Next month I will recieve my first royality check. I sold 12 My Bible--My God  www.createspace.com/3614885 I sold 2 Always And Forever  www.createspace.com/3681119 I sold 3 books at work It is hard to believe that someone is buying something I have written.  It has always been my dream to hold a book that I have written.  It is now a reality.  I wrote a book, published it and now people are buying my books.  I have written every since I learned how to write.  I never had much support from my family when I lived at home.  I kept a journal and wrote short stories even though my family wouldn't read them.  Once I moved out on my own, I kept writing and friends and co-workers became my support system.  I never gave up on my dream and neither should you. there are a couple of co-workers that support me and that means so much.  So if you have the dream, the desire to become a writer, there is no better time than now.  Now is the

I am not sure this is a blessing or a curse, but I can not stop writing.  I find myself writiting at work, jotting down notes and ideas.  I come home and rewrite my notes.  I am constantly talking to my boyfriend about getting my books up as e-books.  I am making him read what I write and all I can think about is writing.  I have more stories in my head that I will never have time to write them all. I am not complaing, cause I am so excited.  I have two books in print.  By the end of the month I will have 3 e-books on Kindle.  I am pricing the three books at .99 cent.  I am so excited that nothing can upset me.  I go to work and am thrilled, no matter what happens.  I am a published writer and no one can take that away from me. I know that people at work, don't really care about me or what I do.  Don't talk about my writing at work.  I just smile and think about my writing and make notes.  Then the co-workers think I am writing a note about them.  Ha! Ha! So I don't k

I have a new blog: http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com/ My short story, is about Zombies.  I know that is not even close to an inspirational romance, but I do love a good Zombie story.  The short story will be availible in a few weeks.  It is being formatted for Kindle and will be for sale at the Kindle Store. There will be 6 episodes in 2012, about the plague that changed the world. Like I said.  I can't stop writing and am very excited.

I have to admit that I have not done anything to promote my newest book.  I know that I should, and I will, but with work and then thanksgiving and now Christmas, I have been busy, not to mention that I just wrote a five thousand word short story. I have been busy, but that is no excuse.  I know that other writers stress over promoting their book and not working on the next book cause they are spending all their time on promoting their book.  I am doing the opposite, I am just working on the next book and can't seem to stop writing.  Three weeks Christmas will be over and things will slow down at work, and then I will have more time.  Maybe this is not the way to do it.  I guess you are supose to promote your book when it comes out, but I have the need to write.  So what do you think?  Would you promote your book first and write later???? Let me know. Always And Forever www.createspace.com/3681119 http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

My two books: Always and Forever www.createspace.com/3681119 My Bible--My God www.createspace.com/3614885 A new short story Are all now being formatted into e-books. I just have to wait.  By the first of the year, all three of them will on kindle for purchase.  I am very excited about this and am surprised that I acually have done this all in one year.  I have been busy.  Getting up early and leaving the televison off. I will keep you posted on my sales and when they will be available as e-books. Keep writing. If I can do this, so can you http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
