Stick To A Writing Schedule.


Write Everyday.

You hear that all the time.  You go to writer's conference's they say "Write Everyday"

You read books on writing, they write, "Write everyday."

That is great advice, when you are on a schedule.

I quit my job to write and blog.  I like blogging.  So I blog.  I have another Blog

So I do write everyday.

That does not mean that I am productive.  I write in notebooks, on the computer and on my blogs.

This week not so much on my book.  Why?  I just didn't feel like it. I don't have a reason,

I went on Facebook to promote my books, I got distracted for about 2 hours scrolling on Facebook.  Time I could of been writing. 

So I need to stay off Facebook.

Then I have to go and check chickens for eggs.

Then my boyfriend wants to watch a movie with me.

Then I have to go check for eggs.

Then, I just am tired.

I am sure we all do this.

We know we should be writing, but hey, there is always something that is begging for our attention.

A schedule is the only way you will get the book written.

I turn my computer on first thing when I get up.  I plan to write.  I get side track if I turn the wifi on.  Then I start googling things and two hours later, I realize I didn't write. 

So this week, I haven't been working on my book.  I have blogged.  I have been at the computer for at least two hours a day, but scrolling on Facebook won't get my book written or googling won't get my book written.

So today, I am going to work on my book.

We all have excuses not to write.

What is your number one excuse not to write???

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/

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.
