Every writer wants to hold their book in their hands.  I am one of those people.  I want to hold my books in my hands. I also want to sell books.  My first book was a print book, through www.createspace.com   I sold books to friends, customers from my day job and gave some away.  Later I put the book on www.amazon.com   I would check my sales and be thrilled to have made a sale.  People that I didn't know were buying my books.  I am more happy and thrilled when someone buys my e-books that I don't know.  I then learned that I didn;t have to write 100,000 word novel, I could write 5,000 word story and publish it on Kindle.  If I write fast, I could write and publish a short story a month.  Wow! There is a thought.  To put the idea to the test in 2014 I wrote and published a short story every month, sometimes I wrote and published 2 E-Books.  I was totally focused on my writing this year.  I now have 48 E-Books published on Amazon.  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson

Do not go into Debt getting your book published. I have 48 E-books on Amazon.  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson How did I do this in 3 years? I wrote and published a short story every month, sometimes 2 a month.  I learned to do things that I didn't know how to do. I learned to Format my files.  Kindle has it free on their website on how to Format, in PDF Form or E-Book form.  I learned how to format for Kindle and now I can publish on my schedule and don't have to wait for someone else to do it for me. This is KEY to publishing on your schedule and not someone's schedule.  Kindle has a Kindle Book Converter. You can create Book Covers for FREE.  Stop listening to others telling you that you can not do it yourself. I am here to tell you that you do not have to go into debt to become a published writer.  By December I will have 50 E-Books on Amazon.  That was a personal goal for me.  I wanted to see if I could do.  I learned as I went.  I don

This year I decided to have 50 E-Books published on Amazon by December 2014. As of October of 2014 I have 48 E-books on Amazon. www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson I concentrated all year on writing and publishing an E-Book every month.  I have 2 E-Books to go and I know that is within reach. This year has been a learning process.  I learned that I can write and publish quickly if I want to.  I learned how to be focus and determined to reach my goals and deadlines, even though I have no one to answer to except me. 2015 is around the corner.  I have new goals.  I won't be witing and publishing every month.  I want to write longer stories.  I now can sit at the computer longer.  When I started I could only write 100 words at a time.  Now I can sit and write 3,000 words in one sitting. I started out as a Paranormal Romance Writer.  I then switched to Zombie Writer with my Series Me VS Zombies. 2015 I am going to go back to Paranormal Romance Writer.  I have 4 book idea

I spent the last week with no phone, no internet, no computer.  I survived.  Could you? I needed a break. This past year I have published one or more short story every month.  I was drained.  I am 2 E-Books from having 50 E-books on Amazon.  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson   That is my goal this year.  To have 50 E-books published on Amazon.  I am close, then my I started getting distracted.  I have like 5 books started.  I couldn't focus on one single story.  So what did I do? I spent most of my time on facebook and twitter.  I wrote a little, but my word count was down and I was not getting anywhere.  I checked my sales all the time.  I felt like I was on a treadmill and going nowhere. The week is over and I didn't miss anything.  I am more focused and I know what I need to do.  I made the goals for next year.  I am more focused and ready to write. I just hit the publish button for Episode 32 of Me VS Zombies. I have the next Episode started. I am working

www.amazon.com/dp/B006K7CVLS I have been a Vegetarian most of my life, since I was around 10 years old.  I have tried to go Vegan.  I am about 80% there.  I haven't been able to give up my cheese, pasta or pizza.  Eating meat is no problem for me.  I do not eat meat, fish, chicken or seafood. I have been a writer most of my life, since I was in grade school.  I have never stopped writing, even when I recieved rejection letters. Now I am self-published writer.  I have 47 E-Books on Amazon.  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson How have I done this in 3 years?  Writing everyday and publishing every month.  E-Books are different than Print books.  The length of an E-book can be from 5,000 words to 100,000 words or more. Short Stories is the key to getting your name out there.  Writing a 100,000 word novel takes awhile, least for me.  I can write, edit and publish a short story in less than a month. In my Book:  How to Write 12 E-Books in 1 Year www.amazon.com/dp

I am uping my word count from this day forward. I am writing 1,000 words a day.  No excuses here. I am working on 3 books that I want finished by January.  That is not going to happen if I don't up my word count. Follow me on Twitter Post your word count at #upwordcount Follow me on Twitter @dogbone61 I write anywhere and everywhere.  The new year will be here before you know it.  Set your goals NOW!

DIY Writing Tip Number 1 Stay Positive www.amazon.com/dp/B00M7RCE6C I firmly believe that WORDS are ALIVE. What you say will become your future. So speak nothing negatively.  I know that is not an easy thing to do.  Never say, I will never learn how to do this.  I will never sell a book. Speak only Positive Words.  I have sold 10 million copies of my books.  I am Self Employed at a Writer. I believe that your life will change, if you change the way you think. I never thought I could learn to format my files to Kindle.  I learned it and now I can publish when ever I want.  I never thought I would have a writing career.  Now I am telling others what I have learned. Never give up. Quitting is not an Option! Start thinking Positive Things and Speak Positive Words. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

What are you waiting for?  Do you want to become a writer? Do you want to see your name on a book? Do you want to experience your first sale? Do you want to recieved your first royality check? The first thing you need to do is to Admit to yourself, I am a Writer. Say it outloud.  I AM A WRITER.  I AM A PUBLISHED WRITER.  I AM SELLING E BOOKS ON AMAZON.  I CAN LEARN WHATEVER I NEED TO LEARN. I AM A WRITER Feel better? The quickest way to get published either in fiction or non-fiction is to write a 5,000 word E-book.  A short story, around 10 pages long or a non fiction book around 5,000 words. Don't think you have to write a 100,000 word novel to get published.  Start with a short story.  Learn how to do it.  Learn how to promote and brand your writing.  You can easily do this in a month or evern a week, given how much time you have to devote to your writing.  To get you started www.a,azon.com/dp/B00FE81V3S    Only 99 Cents  Book 1 in DIY Writing Career this w

I now have 4 Non-Fiction Books out on Kindle.  Priced At 99 Cents Each.  My sales have been up since I started writing Non-Fiction Books.  I am still writing Zombie Books. www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6PPTE4 I am not saying that one has to write both Fiction and Non-Fiction.  I am saying that there is a market out there for Non-Fiction and why not tap into that market.  Write what you know about. I have learned everything on my own.  No one helped me, except GOD.  I am sharing what I have learned so you might not make the same mistakes that I did.  If I tell you what I learned, you will be able to start selling more books sooner, since you won't have to learn on your own. www.amazon.com/dp/B006N0ZDGW Is the first book I DIY.  This is my story of how GOD pulled me out of the pit that Satan dumped me into. This is the second Book in my DIY Writing Career.  www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUG1S   It is how I Branded my Zombie Stories and how I am Branding my Non-Fict

It is already May.  The year is half over.  What have you done?  Is the book complete?  Have you written anything? Don't worry.  Don't despair.  Now is the time. I know that writing a 400 page book is a daunting task.  It is overwhelming.  I have a solution for that. Write a scene at a time. Write a scene a week. Write a scene a month. Whatever you can do, that is what you write.  No pressure.  It is your book.  The important thing is to write, no matter what.  Write a sentence a day.  Write 100 words a day.  The more you write, the more you will want to write, the more pages you will write. I have been writing and publishing a short story a month for the past year.  It is hard sometimes and sometimes it is not.  That is my goal.  I also started a 400 page novel.  100,000 words. Let me tell you, I would rather right a short story, but the characters are screaming in my head to get their story told. So I will still write a short story a month and work on my novel. 

This is my newest book  Only 99 Cents  www.amazon.com/dp/B00JLX7VHM I combined Episodes 12-23 of Me VS Zombies into one book. This is the first book of the Series Me VS Zombies www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPEPZDE I combined Episodes 1-9 into one book.  I wrote 2 bonus episodes in this book.  I now have 37 E-Books on Amazon. I started Publishing in 2011.  I started out thinking I was only going to write 1-2 books a year.  Then I decided to see if I could write a short story once a month.  I started in 2013.  The more I write, the more ideas come to me.  It is like a muscle, it needs to be worked.  If I can do this, so can you. You can find all my books at www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson I sometimes Publish 2 short stories a month. Publishing is no longer a dream, it is a reality.  The only thing you need is DETERMANATION.  The willing to learn and to never quit. 

You read the title right.  You can self publish for Free.  www.amazon.com has made it simple and easy.  All it takes from you is determantion.  It is not hard.  It is not high tech. I publish a short story every month.  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson I have paid for my book covers.  I have also used the kindle cover converter.  Cover cost me nothing. www.amazon.com/dp/B00GYTBQ7M I learned to format my files.  It is easier than you think.  Amazon has a book on how to format your files. and the book is FREE . Beware of websites who offer to do the services for a fee.  You can do it on your own.  Go to www.kdp.amazon.com browse the website and see what they have to offer.  All my e-books are published on amazon. Something else to remember.  An E-Book does not have to be 50,000 words or 100,000 words.  It can be a few at 5,000 words.  You can write a 5,000 word short story, create a cover from the kindle website, format the file and upload the file.  FREE I do

Want to be a Published Author? 1.  Write. If you don't write, you will never get published.  I know that may sound simple.  I know you have heard that before.  It is the only thing you need to get publish.  You need a story to publish. I had a hard time writing 100 words a day.  I then started writing everyday, even if it was one word or one sentence or 1,000 words.  I discovered the more I wrote, the easier it was to write.  Like anything else, it takes practice. I now write everyday.  In longhand or on the computer.  I write wherever or whenever.  In the car, waiting for a doctor appointment, at work, on my breaks.  I carry a notebook everywhere I go.  My goal was to be a published writer and that is what I am.  That is what I am doing.  So can you.  What is stopping you from seeing your dream become a reality?  It is you.  You are the only one stopping you. Amazon has made it simple and easy to get publish.  www.kdp.amazon.com    Look around their website and see wha
