Yesterday, I Had A Meltdown

How is your story coming along?  Getting a lot of writing done.  Are you writing everyday?

I want to say that my story is doing great.  I want to say that I am reaching my word count everyday.

That would be a lie.  I lie and tell you that the writing life is awesome.  That would be a lie.

Yesterday, I had a meltdown.   What is wrong with me?

I got up and was ready to write.

I started writing.  I didn't go on line or Facebook.  I was writing and then I thought.  "This is so stupid.  So I backspaced everything I wrote.  I started over.  Then I said.  ""What is wrong with me.  No one is going to read this."  So I backspaced everything I just wrote.

I continued to write.  Then I screamed.  "I am so stupid."  I backspaced everything I wrote.

I am sure that I wrote at least a thousand words all together.

Then I just got mad at myself.  "You are stupid.  No one is going to read this." 

I turned off the computer.  I went into the living room, plopped down in the chair and watched three hours of Parking Wars. 

What is wrong with me?

I wasted an entire day and did nothing, but stare at the tv. 

So this morning I got up.  I am blogging and once again, I am going to write. 

I realize that self doubt is part of writing.  Everyone has self doubt. 

So today is a new day with new beginnings.

So if you have a meltdown, know that you are not alone.  We all have them.  All we can do is get over it and get back to 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/

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.
