Creating Your Writing Space



I rearranged my writing space.  I moved my desk into the corner of the kitchen.  I am by a window and plants are next to my desk.  I realize that the kitchen might not be for everyone.  I needed to get out of the bedroom.  I would sit in bed with my laptop and the next thing I knew, I was lying down and getting tired.  I don't want to be in the living room because the tv would lure me away from writing.

What works for me will not work for you.  You need to have a place where no one will bother your stuff and where you can concentrate on writing.  My house is small and space is limited.

I have been sitting at my desk for the past 3 hours.  I was on facebook and twitter promoting my books at my desk.  I have the cd player on and am in the writing zone.

I am back at my job with evening hours and am thrilled.  For the past 3 months I was a day person at work.  I had a hard time writing while writing during the day.  I like to get up early to write.  I couldn't do that working days.  I didn't want to get up at 3 in the morning to write and then go to work.  Now I can get up early and then go to work in the evening.
I am blessed that I have a job that does not require me to think.  It is a mindless job.  I can think about writing, plotting and my characters.  I write on my breaks and lunch hour.  (if you can call it lunch at midnight)
The past two months I hardly wrote or was on the computer because I was working days and everyday I worked a different time.

Now that I have an evening and night shift, and made a better writing space, I feel I am back on track.  I bring my writing for my hour lunch and can think, most co-workers are sleeping so I can write.

Create your writing space and it will inspire you to write.

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. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today

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...
