How I Am writing My Next Book

I know that everyone has their own way to write a book.  There are hundreds of books on how to write and publish a book.  I myself have thought about writing a how to book.  So there is no right way to write a book.  Whatever works for you, is how you should write your book.

I came across this  http://thisblogisaploy.blogspot.com   find her blogs on How I went from 2,000 words a day to 10,000 words a day.  12 Days of Glory  How I Plot a Novel in 5 Steps

I printed these out and they are now my guidelines. 

After your read her blog you may say yea, but she writes full time.  I understand that, but I want to step up my game and eventually I do want to write full time, so I am looking at writers who have stepped up their game.

If someone out there is writing 10.000 words a day and I am only writing 1,000 words a day, I will never be able to compete with them. 

So I am going to step up my game.  The only way to do that is to write everyday, no matter what. 

My goal is to write 5,000 words a day, though I might not make that goal everyday, least I am looking in that direction.

How do you write your book????  How many pages do you write a day????

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/

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.
