I Am A Writer

I am a writer and do not care what others think.  I do not compare myself to other writers or to other people.  If I start comparing myself to others, I will always look like a failure.  I need to focus on my writing and do what I think I need to to.  Someone will always be better than me.  Somone will always be thinking of writing that book.  So in a way I will be further along than others, but others will be ahead of me.

All I can do is to write my stories and do my best.  I am not looking at others for approval.  The person that I want approval from the most, will only disappoint me.  So I am doing my best and that is all I can do.

I am a writer and no one can take that away from me.

The next time you are doubting yourself or are a bit depressed, know that you are a writer and be proud of that.  Be proud that you wrote today.  Celebrate or treat yourself to something after you get done writing.  A piece of chocolate, watching your favorite show. 

Be proud that you are a writer.  Embrace it.

I am a writer.  I write the Zombie Zoo Series.

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/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
