Writing Is A Business

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.

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.
