A Writer's Schedule

It is 5 in the morning.  I couldn't sleep.  I have 12 chicks in my bathtub.  Saturday is my last day as an employed person.  I still have bills to pay.  My mind has been racing all night.  I could not sleep.  I woke up at 4 in the morning.  Yes I want to write my 4 book series, but the other main thing I want and need to do is to blog.

Blog about my writing life.

Blog on my walk with GOD.

So I climbed out of bed.  Drank a glass of orange juice.  Took my Zertec.   Grabbed a Pepsi, prayed.  Read the Bible.  Turned on the computer and here I am.  The house is quiet.  I have my Monkey's CD on and am now blogging.

As a writer, I have to write when I can.  When I wrote , Me VS Zombies Series I worked the night shift.  10:00pm-6am  Some might say that is a terrible shift and it is,but not for a writer.  I worked at night and slept during the day.  On my nights off.  I did not try to be a day person.  I still slept during the day and on my nights off, I had the entire night to write.  I would write, blog or whatever the entire night.  That was how I was able to write and publish an episode every month.  The nights are quiet, and nothing on tv.  I wrote at night.

Now that I will be unemployed at the end of the week, have chickens, need to plant the garden soon, and try to spend time with my boyfriend, I no longer can sleep all day and write all night. 

So I got up at 5 in the morning, to blog, then go and run errands.  Try to write this afternoon.

The point is, for me there will be no set time to write.  I am going to write when I can.  Get up early, stay up late, stop watching tv. 

I need a routine.  Not sure what that will be.  All I know is that I will write and blog everyday(at least try) but if I do not write, I will not beat myself up for not writing. 

The important thing is to write, everyday. 

Yesterday I wrote 1,349 words.  I fleshed out the first Chapter.  I am totally re-writing the book.  I am starting from scratch, though the skeleton of the story remains the same.

Blogging Around The World

The rain has past.  Yesterday was a very productive day.  I reread the draft of The Cross.  I reread the draft of The Way I like what I have written.  So now I just have to get my but in gear and edit like crazy.  For me that is easier than done.  I look at my desk which is piled up with legal pads, books and now I cannot find anything.
