Thankful For Being a Writer

Today is Thanksgiving in the USA.

I am one that do not celebrate Thanksgiving.  Americans spends over 100 dollars on one meal, Why?  Because society says we should.  Look how the turkeys are treated for this day, many say they don't even like turkey but it is, because that is what is expected of you.

Look at how well the thanksgiving meal worked out for the indians.

But everyday should be a day of thanksgiving.  GOD gave us this gift to write.  We can read, write and tell stories that help others.

GOD gave us this gift to write.  Even though no one really cares that I write, I know that my writing matters to this world. Famous painters never sold a painting, until after their death.  So as you are writing, you might never know the impact your writing has after your death. 

The movie It's a Wonderful Life did not do well at the box office and now it is a classic, so if you have doubts in your story, your story is orginal and no one can tell your story the way you can tell it.

I am still trying to write my Memoir and all I think is "This is so boring, no one will read it."  because my story is more internal conflict than exterior.  My eating disorder, cutting myself is all in my head and expressing it, I hear this voice screaming in my head.  "No one cares, it is boring."

So on this day that Americans stuff themselves with food for no other reason is because we can.  Thank GOD for your gift to write and thank GOD for being able to read, have access to the Internet and to self-publish.  This is your year, your time.  You are blessed so write today, because there is someone out there waiting to read your stor

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/

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.
