Get Up Early/ Stay Up Late

The only way to finish a story or novel is to get up early or stay of late.  Stop watching television.  I know that watching televison is my down fall.  I start watching it and then the next thing I know my writing time is gone.

Find out what is zapping your writing time. 

Figure out if you write better in the morning or late at night.  I write better, right when I get up.  I get up and I write before I do anything else. 

Do this for you.  don't right for fame and fortune.  Write cause you want to write.  No one cares if you are loosing sleep.  No one cares that stopped watching television.  This is your dream, your desire.  It matters to you.

I write cause this is what I want to do.  I do a happy dance everytime I sell a book.  I do not do this for anyone else, cause frankly, no one really cares if I write or not.  Sure, someone might if I start making millions.  For now I get up early before I go to work.  I write at work, I write in my car I write on my breaks I am writing all the time.

Are you writing today???/

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. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today

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...
