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???

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.
