Jessica Brody on Save The Cat

If you have been reading my posts, you know that I am plotting my book using the book Save The Cat Writes a Novel.  If you are interested in writing a Screen Play.  Save The Cat is the book you need.  I have purchased all the Save The Cat Books.  I am not getting any money for blogging about these books.

These books explains everything, in a different way, and it makes complete sense.  I have stacks of writer's books.  I have spent hundreds of dollars and even thousands of dollars on writer's courses and conferences.  This is the last book I will need on writing.

So, yesterday I watched more of the videos.  Needless to say, I am re-plotting my novel.  Same Concept, but listening to Jessica Brody on the videos, made me realize why I think my book is dull and boring.  That is why I kept re-writing the first 50 pages.  It was boring.  So I am going to think on this and re-plot.

I had the last 3 days off work to think and watch the videos.  If you are interested in this course, go to her website Jessica Brody

I need to work on my opening scene.  I have re-written and re-written this scene and it is boring.  So that is what I am going to work on this morning.  This is my last day off and I don't want to waste the day.

I am not telling you to buy the course or the book.  I am just saying that this book and the videos has opened my eyes and I understand things better.  As a writer I want to learn how other writers write and think.

Keep On Writing

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/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

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.
