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

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/

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.
