I Quit My Job To Write

One year ago, I worked my last day.  I clocked out and walked out of the building that I went everyday, whether I wanted to go or not.  I walked away from a good paying job with benifits.

Why?

I wanted to write.  I have been saying for years.  I just want to take a year off and write.  That never happened.  Then as I got older, yet to young to collect Social Security, I was getting tired.  I was to tired to write on my days off.  

One day, I was standing around, looking at my co-workers.  They were not happy.  They were there for the same reason I was, the paycheck.  There has to be more to life than just working.

I worked.  I saved money.  I could not see myself here until society told me I could quit working.  So I decided that if I was going to write the books I wanted to write, then now is the time.

I quit my job.  I gave them a one week notice.  I quit and I didn't look back.  I can say this past year flew by.  

I wrote and self-published Buy Now  E-Book/Print/Kindle Unlimited


I also wrote a Novella that will be published later this year.

I blog everyday.  My Other Blog  is My Walk With Jesus.  God pressed on my heart to Read the Bible this year.  God also told me to blog everyday about what I read.  
So everyday, I read the Bible and Blog everyday.  

The first thing I do when I get up every morning is to Read the Bible and then Blog.  So far so good.

A few days I go that I was struggling to write, even though I have written two books this past year.  I will still struggle.  But I do have something to keep bringing me back to the computer, Blogging.

So once I am at the computer, it  is easier to go to my other writings, I am already at the computer.

So what I am saying is that, I quit my job, because life is to short.  We could be dead tomorrow or ten minutes from now.

Do what God has placed on your heart.

Writing is a gift from God.
Use it.

There are days I don't write.
There are days I can't leave the computer.  

Today I have been sitting at the computer for the past three hours.  

Write, wherever and whenever.

I quit my day job and I don't regret it.

You don't have to quit your job to write, the choice is yours

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 Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
