Holidays are Over....Back To Writing

Holidays are over.  2014 will be here before you know it.  No more excuses.

I had 4 days off.  I wrote 5,000 words. I wanted to write 10.000 words, but the Holidays got in the way.  That is okay.  I still wrote and I still sold books, so all is good.

I have to go back to work, and then back to the writing schedule.

I wrote episode #19 of Me VS Zombies.  I had the episode plotted out. I had #20 plotted out.  The Characters took the story into their own hands and the story is better.  Now I have to come up with 2 new titles. 

#19 is written and is in editting mode.  So I have no idea where the story is going.  I think that happens to alot of writers, but this has never happened to me. 

I believe the more I write the more my word count goes up.  When I started writing, I was lucky if I could write 500 words at a time.  Now I can sit down at the computer and write 2,000-5,000 words in one sitting.  The more I write, the easier and faster the words come.  I am becoming a faster writer, but it was not like that 5 years ago.

Episode #19 will be #30 E-Books on www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson   I plan on writing 20 E-Books in the year 2014. Most of them will be Episodes of Me VS Zombies I will be publishing a short story every month.  There will be months that I will have to publish 2 Episodes in a month to make my goal.  So I need to write faster.  I still write in long hand when I am at work

1st of January I will publish #19 and will publish #20 at the end of January. I need to write.  It is a lot of work.  It is not always fun.  I also have to promote all my other books.  Face book, Twitter,  blog.  It is a lot of work and not always fun.  I think of it as a business and one must show up to work.

What are your goals for 2014??  It is now or never

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.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
