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/

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...
