My Writing Schedule

I have a Writing Schedule!!!!

For the first time since I quit my job almost a year ago, I have a writing schedule, which surprises me.  I realize that I don't have a job.  When you don't have a job kinda makes you lazy.  I say things like "I will do that tomorrow.  I want to watch this movie.  Oh, look Housewives of .... is on."

For me, it is hard to stick to a schedule because yes I do want to write, but I also want to just sit in front of the TV and eat a bag of chips.

The book is not going to get written if I don't write.

My Writing Schedule:

1.  I get up and read the Bible.  I have a Reading Bible Schedule from Kenneth Copeland Ministries,  Then I write down Bible Scriptures in a notebook. 

2.  I then go to the computer and Blog on my other Blog, I Am Walking With God.  So this is done before I do anything else. 

3.  Now that I am on the computer, I can blog here, and then start writing on my stories.  My Word Count  Goal Daily is:  3,000 words.  Not saying that I reach that goal everyday.  I am saying that from the moment I wake up, I am in writing mode.

Yesterday I wrote 3,000 words on the computer and 500 words in long hand, writing down my thoughts and notes for the story.

Yesterday was a good day of writing. 

If I don't write in the morning, odds are I will not write in the afternoon, because my mind in not in writing mode.

So far so good.

What is your Daily Writing Schedule?

Leave your writing schedule in the comment section.  There is not a right or wrong answer here.  We are writers and we all are different.  What works for one, might not work for another person.

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...
