CO-Authoring

I have co-authored a book with Stephen Orsmby..I think we are going with an on-line publisher.  I will let you know when I have more information.  He thinks that is the way to go, so we won't have to spend so much time on marketing.  Also we are able to publish the next book in the series with this publisher.

I know that co-authoring is not for everyone.  Not sure it was for me.  Never gave much thought to it, till Stephen asked me if I wanted to write a book together.  It is good to keep your options open.  I want to write.  I want to sell books.  that is what I want to do.  So I am open to whatever comes along.  Think about it.

I am still writing my Zombie books, but I can write other books also. 

6 things I learned from writing with Stephen Orsmby:

1.  I am not always right

2.  I have to be flexible.  I might have an idea, he may not like it.  He may have an idea and I may not like it.  Stand your ground on what it important, and let the others go

3.  Follow your heart.  If it doesn't feel right, don't do anything, just to get published. 

4.  Write the genre you want to write, not what is selling or what you think is going to sell

5.  Make sure you like the person you are writing with.  I must admit, I never met Stephen.  Might never meet him.  I did ask him a few questions and we seem to think alike and have the same goals.  So far it is working. 

6.  Don't give up on your morals or beliefs....Have to find someone who respects your beliefs or at least understand them.

Try and Co-Write a book with another author.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain

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/

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.
