Save The Cat

I realize that I have not been blogging for over a year.  That does not mean that I have not been writing.  I have this great idea for a book, guess what?  I have been working on this book for the past two years I have written and rewritten the first fifty pages over and over again, and it was making me crazy. 

I know that I have a good idea, but it was just boring, dull and who on earth would want to read this.  I didn't quit.  I wrote on the computer in long hand but I was not getting nowhere.  It was as if I was on a treadmill writing and going nowhere.

Then I discovered the book Save the Cat by Blake Synder can be found on Amazon He has 3 books on screenwriting.  He tells you were to put certain scenes in your screenplay and what page it should be on.  I read all three books.  They will work with writing a novel.  Then I found Jessica Brody
 and she wrote Save The Cat Writes A Novel

I was not sure I should buy this book, I have the other books.  I bought Save The Cat Writes A Novel and it changed my total way of thinking.  I was doing everything wrong.  I read the entire book twice.  I had a week of vacation.  I wrote 50 pages 10,000 words and got past the first three chapters.  I now know what I was doing wrong and what direction to go.

I recomend this book.  I am using this book to write the first book The Cross in the book series The Way. 

So follow me as I write this book,  I am going to talk about the highs and lows and what I am doing.  If you are having problems finishing your book, get these books and walk with me and lets get published.

Self-publishing is the easy part.  I have over 50 E-Books On Amazon

Writing is the hard part.  So the year will end soon.  2019 will be here soon and I am excited.  I will be publishing the first book next year.

Will you be publishing your book next year?

What are you waiting for.

I am getting nothing for promoting Save The Cat Books.  I am just letting you know what I found and is totally different than any other writing book you have read.  I am just paying it forward.f

Let's get writing.

What is your book about and when do you want to have it published???

Let me know.

Writing Onward.

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...
