Word Count



Writing this series taught me how to write fast, anywhere at anytime.  In my book Write Fast & Quickly www.amazon.com/dp/B00SW7GLJC

I wrote and published an episode of Me VS Zombies Every Month for a year.  I learned to write fast and quickly. 

Not everyone will want to do that.  I was focused and it consumed my time.  In within 2 years, I had 50 E-Books on Amazon. That was my goal. 

There are writing courses out there that will charge you to learn to write a book in a week or month.  I took such course after I accomplished my goal.  I learned a bit, but not a lot.

If you choose to take one of these courses, remember that anyone can write fast and quickly, depending how determined they are. 

We all have lives.  Each one of us, has to determined how determined we are to write everyday. 

It is easy to lay on the couch and watch TV.

At this moment, I have season 2 of Outlander on as I write this. 

There are days that I don't write.  There are days I can write for hours.

Word count matters, but it is up to you what you do with those words.  You need to finish the story, then the real work begins

It doesn't matter how many words you write everyday.  What matters is that you are working and thinking about the story.  That you never forget about the story and that you never give up. 

I don't keep track of the words I write everyday.  I just write.  I am always thinking or writing. 

What are you doing with your story?  Keep it alive.  Write when you can.  Don't spend money on courses unless you know what you are buying.  Writing is what makes you a writer.

Leave a comment and let me know what you are working on. 

Let's get published this year.  Let nothing stop from making your dream become a reality.

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.

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...
