Pressure To Write

How much pressure are you putting on yourself to write?  Do you beat yourself up if you don't reach your daily go?

Stop it.

The reality is no one cares if you write or not.  Life will go on if you don't write everyday. Does your spouse yell at you if you don't write?  Will your children be neglected if you don't write?

Stop feeling life a failure if you don't write or make your page quota.

This year is almost over, and I did not make any of my writing goals.  I did publish a book Suicide Is Not The Answer

I am working on A Work Book to go with it, but life got in the way.  I am not beating myself up.  I just write when I can.  

You are a writer.  You are creative and that makes you different from others.  You think different.  So don't put pressure on yourself. 

I write everyday, but the next day, I might toss out what I wrote the previous day.  

So write, have fun and that book will be finished.

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/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
