Finding The Time To Write

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?

Blogging Around The World

The rain has past.  Yesterday was a very productive day.  I reread the draft of The Cross.  I reread the draft of The Way I like what I have written.  So now I just have to get my but in gear and edit like crazy.  For me that is easier than done.  I look at my desk which is piled up with legal pads, books and now I cannot find anything. I have blogged today.  Check out my other  Blog   I am blogging a scripture a day on the Devotional I am working on.  Jesus said, Go ye into the world, and preach the Gospel.  I feel that is what I am doing by blogging.  Believe it or not, I am getting other countries to my Christian Blog than I am from the USA, which is good.  So I am reaching people all over the world from blogging.  If you want to reach readers from around the world, might want to start blogging.   Blogger  is free and very easy to use.  I have been using Blogger since 2011.  I know a lot of writers have switched to  Word Press  It is a learning curve for me, and I am getti
