If I Can Write Everyday: So Can You

How is your writing coming along?

Yesterday I had a great day writing. After I blogged yesterday, I went into the living room, sat in the recliner and wrote 4,771 words.

I surprised myself.  I did not write all of that in one sitting.  I was writing and on a roll, when I had to stop and run an errand.  When I got home, I didn't want to write, but I also, wanted to reach the 10,000 word count.

I picked up the laptop and started writing.  I kept looking at my word count because I was not going to stop until I made it to 10,000 words and then I stopped.

So it is possible to write if you really want to.  You have to want to.

I don't live to write

I write to live.

I have to write.  I don't have a choice if I want to remain sane.  I suffer from depression I just want to lay in bed or in my recliner and watch tv.  I write to stay focus and not to drift off in a place I might not come back from..

So this Writing Challenge In May is important to me.  I am forcing myself to write,  I am focus on writing.  I am writing a new story and as I write I am just writing whatever comes to mind.  I am not editing or deleting anything.  I am just writing.

My word count so far is:  12,031

This includes words I have written in longhand and on the computer. 

What is your word count so far?

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/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

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.
