I came up with a plan. I am going to write 50 E-Books by the end of 2014. I have 15 of them published and three being edited. I have no idea if I will reach the goal of 50, but that is what I am aiming for.
I am publishing one short story a month, I would like to publish 2 a month, but that is a bit hard, since I have to work a full time job to pay my bills.
How am I doing this?
1. I get up early before I go to work. I write, blog, twitter, facebook
2. I take a notebook with me to work. I write when I am waiting to punch that good old time clock. I write on my lunch and breaks. I carry the notebook with me, everywhere I go at work, when I have my lunch and breaks.
3. I discovered that I write best when I first wake up. On ,my days off, I wake up, go and get me a pepsi and turn the computer on. I don't do any other tasks. I write for 3-6 hours before I allow my self to do something else.
4. I do longer care if my floors have dust bunnies.
5. I have disconnected my cable. I no longer have access to TV. I have DVD's if I need to pop one in now and again. I find that flipping through channels looking for something to watch is wasting time that I could be writing.
6. I do not surf the web. When I am on line, it is all about writing, checking e-mails, blog, facebook and twitter, then back to writing.
7. I think of my writing as a business not a hobby. Not something to talk about. I don't talk about writing. I write.
8. Writing is my second job. I show up to write, everyday, even if I have to write in long hand or make notes.
9. Writing is not something I do. Writing is my job. I carry business cards, with my blogs and website on them. I am always handing them out.
10. If you want to lose weight, you make time to work out or walk. You want to be clean, you take time to take a shower and do your hair. Think about the amount of time you are in the gym or hair salon, you could be writing.
I gave TV up to write more. I have given up sleep to get published. I have given up my social life to write, not that was anything to brag about, anyway, so maybe there I didn't give anything up. My amin focus in life is writing and for the next two years I am focused on that. At the end of the two years I am rewarding myself a 2 week trip to Florida.
So follow me as I write, edit publish and promote 50 E-books. I will share my ups and downs. I will let you know when I am selling and when I am not selling.
What are you will to give up to write and see your dreams become a reality?
