Writing Tip Number Three

Write Fast.  You may have heard that some people write fast 3-6 books a year and some write one book a year. I am amazed at the authors that write three or more books a year.  I wonder how they do it.  Most authors write full time.  They don't have another job.  Still to me that is alot of writing, rewriting.  I recently read that one should get a book out every 6-8 weeks.  Not sure I am up for that.

Number 3 Writing Tip:  Write Fast.

I think I am a fast writer, though my word count says other wise.  So instead of thinking about writing fast.  I make deadlines for myself.  I schedule a time for my book cover.  I schedule when to send my file in to get formatted, then I have a deadline and I do whatever it takes to make that deadline.  I know that someone has made time for me, even though I am paying for their time.  I never want to seem unprofessional.

So it doesn't matter if you write fast or slow.  As long as you are meeting your own deadlines and you are happy with the results.  That is one of the perks of self publishing. You are in control of every aspect of your writing.  You have the final say. 

I want to write fast.  I want to write at least three books a year, but I know that may not be possible.  I have a job that pays the bills till my writing starts paying the bills. 

You only have to do what is right for you.  Write fast.  Write Slow, as long as you are writing.

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...
