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/

Writing Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
