I Hate Editting

I am back on my evening work schedule starting today.  I now can write during the day before I go to work.

I got up and have already put 2 hours writing time.  I went through the non-fiction book DIY Writing Career Zombie Style.

I now know what I need to rewrite and what to edit.  My goal is to have this published January 2016.  It will take time to edit.  I hate editing.  It is time consuming and not fun for me.  It has to be done.

When I first started out, I didn't have an editor.  I could not find one that I could afford.  I read and reread the story and used my spell checker.  I now found an editor I can afford.

I am all about being debt free.  I don't think anyone should go into debt to be published.  So do what you think is best for you.

I went through the manuscript and made notes.  I know soon I will be sitting at the computer going word for word and line for line before I send it to the editor.

I hate editing but it has to be done.  So that is what I am working on.

Remember that this is your book and if you do not agree with the editor you hired, don't listen to them.  Follow your heart.  Remember that if you are publishing and receiving royalty checks, you can claim your writing on your taxes.  Anything that has to do with your writing is tax deductible.  Consult your tax person.

So for now I will be editing the book, but I will still be working on a short story when I am not editing.

How do you edit?  Hire someone or DIY?

So you are not alone if you hate editing.  If you are an editor and would like to leave your email in the comment section, feel free.

What are you doing today with your writing?

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/

Writing Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
