Putting Writing First

I need to write when I get up.  I am more focused and productive.  My husband, also likes to get up and run errands and do things early in the morning.

I am sitting in bed, with my Pepsi and I read the Bible, and am blogging.  He was going to town.  I did not go with him, because I know what I want to get done with my writing.  If I went with him, I probably wouldn't get any writing done, because one errand leads to another errand.  So he went with by himself.

Does that make me a bad person?

Before I quit my "Real Job" no one expected me to drop what I was doing, and go to town.  I had a legit reason for not going everywhere.  I had to work.

Now, I work from home, and I am suppose to drop everything and run errands, feed the chickens etc.

So what do you think?

Do you put your writing first????

Does your writing suffer if you do put everything and everyone first????

They say, treat writing like a job.  If you do, then people are going to be mad.

What do you do.

So I didn't go to town.  I need to focus and editing my story, so I can send it off to the editor which I think is more important than going to town.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

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.
