A Writer's Life


That is me.  Not to glamours.  I so proud of this book.  I wrote this book and I self-published this book.  I did not have a book signing.  I did not have a glamours book party.  I am a writer.  I wrote a book.  Did anyone care?   My boyfriend who took this picture cared.  He was impressed that I wrote a book and learned to self-published.

My family and co-workers did not care. 

No one cares if I write or don't write.  Their world will not be effected if I don't write.

So why do I write?

I live to write.  I do not have a choice of writing or not writing.  I have to write.  Ever since I learned the ABC's I was writing short stories.  I have been rejected by every major publisher in New York. 

At one time, I packed away all my writing. Notebooks, legal pads, and writing books, stashed them in a closet.  I did not want to write.  I wanted to lay on the couch, eat chips and dip and watch tv after work.  No more writing for me.

Then I would scour the house for a pen and paper to write an idea or thought down.  Soon I had all these pieces of paper with scribble on them.

I dragged my notebooks and legal pads out.  I started writing again.  My hiatus did not last long, probably not even a week.

I am a writer.  I have over 50 E-Books on Amazon.  Don't Believe me?  Check out My Amazon Author Page 

Yes I am a Zombie Writer.  Yes I am a Christian and have written a few Non-Fiction Books with my walk with GOD.  Check out my Blog

Now I am working on a 4 Book Series The Way.....I am also writing my Memoir about my Suicidal Past and how Jesus healed me.

I have a lot going on in my head.  I guess that is part of being a writer.

I am always writing.  I am living a Writer's Life.

In 3 months I am quitting my job and am going to stay home and write, along with raising chickens and planting a garden this summer.  So I am will be concentrating on Blogging also.

So if you write....You have a Writer's Life.  It does not matter if you have support from anyone.  You have a story to tell and only you can tell that story.  So write that story, whether it is a memoir of part of your life or a fiction story that only you can tell.

I can not run from being a writer.  I am embracing my ideas that run through my thoughts and writing them down. 

I like being a writer.  I am living a writer's life.  Are You?

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...
