New Year Resolutions...

My main resolution is to write 2,000 words a day, at least, so at the end of the year I would have written 1 million words.

It is still January, but I am lagging behind.  It is not because I am not working on my writing, I am trying to edit and finish a book that I have been working on for over 2 years.  I have written, rewritten, started over with new characters and then went back to the original idea.  I need to publish this story, so I can move on.  

Yesterday I spent 4 hours rewriting some scenes.  

I have printed out a hard copy and re-read it, making notes.  Today I am going to go and make the changes on the notes I have on the hard copy.  My goal is to mail it off to my editor.  I know I still use mail.  My Editor likes to edit from a hard copy.  So I mail it to her.

You don't have to do everything high tech.  I am not high tech at all.  

So that is my goal today, to edit some more.  I will try to write to increase my word count, but for now, I need to get this in the mail.

How are your New Year Resolutions?  Leave a comment.

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/

Get that Book Published

USA UK Denmark Asia FREE On Kindle Unlimited Write no matter what anyone says.  We all have a story to tell.  If you are a writer, your friends and family might get why you write.  I know that my family does not get me at all.  They just roll their eyes and ignore the fact that I am now a self-published writer.  They don't care.  So I don't talk about my writing to them.  Why waste my time. Instead, I write.  I might not write 2,000 words everyday.  What I do everyday is, I write.  I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing.  I have people come to my blog everyday.  People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer.   I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother.  I write to live.  I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
