Treat your writing as a business....Show up to write, even when you don't feel like it. There are no sick days when you are self employed. I plan to be self employed as a writer by the end of the year. I have to show up at the computer to write, promote, and edit, even when I do not feel good. The weather is wacky. I don't feel good. I have a headache. I am at the computer, cause my writing is my job, and I want to succeed. Are you treating your writing as a business or a hobby??? You must decide? I am getting royality checks from amazon. I want to recieve a check every month. That means that I need to write, promote and edit, even when I want to stay in bed and watch a movie. So think of writing as your second job and one day will be your main job. You are a write, start acting like one. http://sharonleejohnson.com' http://mevszombies.blogspot.com http://zombiethebook.blogspot.com
