The Rewriting Process

The rewriting on the rough draft of The Cross has begun.  I have rewritten, in longhand the first chapter.  I need to put in into the computer on my next two days off.  I wrote them while I was at work.  I amonthsm blessed that I do not have a job where I have to do much thinking.  I basically just have to show up and they pay me. 

I then got out index cards and am writing each scene on a card with:

Setting
POV
Goal
Conflict
Resolution

That way I will focus on the conflict and to make sure that each scene has conflict in it and not some boring scene. 

My deadline to get this rewritten in by June.  4 1/2 months.  By June, I will have quit my job and will be able to start the next rewrite process which will be to flesh out each scene more, with detail, description and fleshing out the conflict. 

I have to get busy.  It is one thing to write in long hand and think I am making progress.  It is another thing to put those pages into the computer.

So this is my rewriting process.  I am excited about this year.  I have goals I want to complete this year and it is not going to get done by talking about it.  If I don't write there is no reason to quit my job or even be on-line.  The only reason I have the internet is to self-publish,,,,for me it is now or never. 

What are you doing to see your writing goals become a reality this year?

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/

Get that Book Published

USA UK Denmark Asia FREE On Kindle Unlimited Write no matter what anyone says.  We all have a story to tell.  If you are a writer, your friends and family might get why you write.  I know that my family does not get me at all.  They just roll their eyes and ignore the fact that I am now a self-published writer.  They don't care.  So I don't talk about my writing to them.  Why waste my time. Instead, I write.  I might not write 2,000 words everyday.  What I do everyday is, I write.  I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing.  I have people come to my blog everyday.  People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer.   I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother.  I write to live.  I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
