Uplug from the World

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 on a Non- Fiction book.

I haven't checked my book sales this month. I decided not to check my sales till the end of the month. I am going to write whether I sell books or not.

I need to focus on my writing and not how many books I sold today.

I feel that writing is what I do. My word count us up and I only have 2 more E-Books to reach my goal. I know I can make my goal for the year.

I am looking forward to next year. I know next year will be more productive. I know that I can unplug anytime and survive.

Are you willing to Unplug?

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/

Get that Book Published

USA UK Denmark Asia FREE On Kindle Unlimited Write no matter what anyone says. We all have a story to tell. If you are a writer, your friends and family might get why you write. I know that my family does not get me at all. They just roll their eyes and ignore the fact that I am now a self-published writer. They don't care. So I don't talk about my writing to them. Why waste my time. Instead, I write. I might not write 2,000 words everyday. What I do everyday is, I write. I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing. I have people come to my blog everyday. People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer. I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother. I write to live. I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
