A Writing Routine

Do you have a writing routine?

I wish I could say yes.  I do not have a routine.  I do have to get a routine when I quit my job or I will get no writing done.

I wish I could tell you the secret of sticking to a routine. 

My job is the reason I have no routine.  I work nights and I sleep most of the morning.  So I can not get up an hour early to write or stay up an hour later, because working nights I am just tired all the time and I need to sleep when I can.

That being said.  I do find time to right everyday.  I am working on 3 books at the same time, so I can never have writer's block. 

On my days off, when I don't write my excuse is, I am tired, I am just going to be lazy.  That is a lame excuse.

So in 3 months I will have 24 hours to write.  I need a routine.  I have chickens and a garden to take care of this summer.  That can not be my excuse for not writing.  I also live by 2 lakes and have a boat, so boating can not be an excuse.

I also need to be more regular on my blogging and post my progress.  Blogging is my top priority.  If I show you that I write everyday and self-publish, then you will realize that it is also possible for you to self-publish also.  If I can do this, so can you. 

I don't have all the answers.  No one does.  What works for one person, might not work for someone else, so you have to find what works for you.

As long as you are writing everyday, you are ahead of the game. 

So the question is:  Do you have a writing routine?

If you do, let me know, leave a comment and let me know...Help others on let them know about your routine.

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. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today

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...
