I Am My Own Worse Enemy

Day 2 of Writing 125,000 Words

I didn't write as much as I wanted to. But I did write.

Yesterday I wrote: 1,470 words.

Goal: 125,000 words

Deadline December 31,2020

Words Left to write. 114,765

I know I can do better. I am own worse enemy. I have self-doubt. I think whatever I write is terrible. In my head, I hear "You are stupid and no one is going to read this. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid"

My mind keeps going back to when I was in grade school. I wrote a short story. I stood in the bathroom doorway and asked my mother if she would read my story. She was on her knees, cleaning the toilet, and her reply was. "I am to busy for that."

To this day, she has never read anything I wrote. that is in my head and can't get it out. so I am going to write this book for me and no one else. It is my personal goal. No one cares if I write or not. God cares. God gave me this gift of writing and I am not going to waste it. If you have a story to write, don't waste the gift that God has given you. You have a story to write---write it.

I have a story to write--I am going to write it and I don't care if anyone else reads it. This is my personal Goal.

I am going to get out of my way and write and watch the words increase and when I print the hard copy, I am going to watch the pages stack up. I am a writer and I am going to write. Don't care what anyone else thinks, says or does about my writing.

What about you? You going to write your story? Leave a comment

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???

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...
