Publishing On A Budget

I am not selling anything.  That is right.  I am not selling anything, except the books I write.

I am here to tell you that you, yes you can get published this month and it will not cost more than $20.00, unless you want to spend more.

I am writing a short story every month till 2015.  My Goal is to get 50 E-books on line by 2015.  I have disconnected my cable.  No TV for me.  That is what was zapping most of my writing time.

1.  I have someone to format my stories for Kindle.  Cost me $10.00

2.  I bought one book cover and am using the same cover for each story in that series.  check out http://mevszombies.blogspot.com  or go to www.amazon.com/author.sharonleejohnson to see all my books  I use the same cover and then change the title.  Total cost for cover $50.00 for 12 title changes.

3.  You do not need a book cover....You can always upload one later. 

4.  In reality all you need is to format your file so you can upload it on Kindle.  You can do this yourself, I have someone do it for me, cause it is only $10.00.  So in reality, if you format the file yourself it will cost you nothing to get published this month.  What are you waiting for???

5.  I am writing a series Me VS Zombies.  I have written another series Zombie Zoo  http://zombiezoothebook.blogspot.com   or http://sharonleejohnspon.com

6  My stories are around 10,000 words each episode  I have Episode 7 out Zombies Changed the Landscape  www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4DLNBA The next one Episode 8 will be out June 28.  I have Episodes 9,10, &11 written and being editted.

7.  I spend all my free time writing.  I consider my writing is my second job, soon to be my only job.  I am a published writer. 

8.  You are the only person stopping you from being published.  It is not the money, or the time.  Give something up that is taking time away from your writing.  Mine was TV.

9.I am all about saving money, remember you are a writer and you might be able to claim it on your taxes and deduct the expenses.  Consult your tax person

10.  Start today and Get Published Today  What is stopping you???

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
