Creating Your Own Deadline

Think of writing as a business.  It is a business.  If you make money you will have to pay taxes as it will be considered income.  So think like a business person. Don't write when you feel like it.  Do you only go to work when you feel like it?  I would never make it to work if I only went when I feel like it.  I never want to go to work I go cause I want to get paid.

So if I don't write, I won't get published.  My goal is to get published.  So I make deadlines myself so I will finish the story.  I will get it on line and I will make sales.  If I do not write, I will not make my deadline and I will never get publish.  So I always make deadlines.  To see my writing through.

Writing is a business.  You need to show up as if it is your job and get that story written.

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.

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...
