Writing Time



Writing can be exhausting.  I was sitting at the computer for about 5 hours yesterday.  That might not seem long to some, but my back hurt, shoulders ached. 

I blogged twice

I wrote 2,000 words

Today I wrote 2,000 words first thing

Then I blogged.

I timed myself as I wrote the 2,000 words.  It took me 1 1/2 hours to write 2,000 words.  I have to admit that I was not as fast as I was yesterday.  I had to force myself to sit at the desk and make my goal.

I find it weird that some days I can write, write and write and others it is  a chore to even write a word.

I do have the rough draft of the series that I am writing done.  It is a very rough draft but the scenes are there and and I have a beginning, a middle and an end. 

So I have book 1 rough draft done.

I have book 2 rough draft done.

In November I will start the NANO and attempt to have Book 3 rough draft done.

Book 4 in the series, I have sort of started outlining that book.  I have the first scene and that is a start.

The reason I want to write all 4 books of this series before publishing them, is so that they all flow together.

I don't want to publish Book 1 and find out in Book 3 I should of included something in Book 1

I want all the Character's Arc's to flow throughout the series. 

So I have written 2,000 words for the past three days.  So far so good.

How is your writing coming?  Are you writing everyday?  That is the key, so I am told.

Write On!

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.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
